Oil consumption is a normal by-product of any internal combustion engine. By manufacture standards 1 quart in 1000 miles is considered normal, however we all know better than that. How many miles have you driven since Christmas?? Oil type and weight also play a role. In my experience I have never been a complete quart low at oil change time, 3000 miles, but the level had drpooed some.
