Just an update from this previous post.

I used Quaker State Defy 5W-20 at last oil change after removing the Peak. My maintenance minder is at 60% and I had to add a full quart this morning. So I am well on the way to adding 2 quarts between oil changes which I would like to figure out why. I checked the PCV valve which I had changed and I am not losing any oil through it as it was dry.
Something had to have happened mechanically to go from never adding oil to suddenly having to add 2 quarts between OCI. Gas mileage seems to have dropped minimally but haven't noticed any "seat of the pants" loss of power. Would a rich condition lead to that much oil consumption? Could I have a stuck ring but thought I would find oil in PCV if that was an issue.
I know that a lot of engines "use" some oil between OCI and this is considered normal but going from zero to 2 quarts is a little much.
