My Z71 burned an entire quart when I drove to NY (725 miles, and it was full when I left.) I was there a week and went through another quart. I checked my PVC and it was "sticking." Replaced it and it hasn't used more than an 1/16 quart in 2,500 miles... so far so good.

Also check for a leak: valve covers, timing chain cover and seal, oil pan, and worst of all would be a rear main seal leak (hardest to change.)
