The BIG question here is.. how on earth did it end up 4 quarts low?? Does it have a huge leak or is something else going on?
No significant leaks, strangely enough. No puddles under the car on the garage floor, and no smoking tailpipe. Don't know where the oil is going.
Wife would have said something if she'd seen or heard something odd, and she didn't.
Yes, I check the oil regularly; as I said, every time I wash a car I check all the fluids....and I usually wash them weekly.

My money is on the CCV system. The missing oil is exiting the crank case via the PCV and ending up partly burned and partly coating the inside of the intake.
Won't hurt anything unless the intake design is one of those funky short/long runner kind with an actuated set of valves to switch between the short and long runners. Those can get gunked up and malfunction when there is a lot of oily sludge coming thru the PCV line and building up on the surfaces of the interior of the intake.
Put a catch can on it and see what it catches. If it's filling up about as quickly as the engine is losing oil, I win a cookie!!
