What makes a seemingly strong running low mileage engine use oil. I know that it's not a third gen Question but, the causes should be the same. Anyway's my wifes 2002 Montana Van which has the same 3.4 V-6 in it that my 95 Camaro daily driver has uses a quart of synthetic oil every 1500 miles. My 95 that I bought used has 120,000 miles & doesnt use a drop of oil yet her Montana which we bought new & has only 50,000 miles on it, eats the stuff. I swapped it to synthetic @ 20,000 miles "Mobile 1, then to Royal Purple. Then @ 35,000 it starts to use oil ??????. It's not visibly burning it but it has to be since it is not leaking it or showing in the coolant. I swapped back to Mobil ! and it's still using it ??? Is there something plugged up ???? I could really use a little help with this as I'm stumped. Any an all Ideas would be greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Bruce
