OIL CONSUMPTION as far as this oil consumption thing goes i'm sure there are a variety of things that could cause this. First off my ex girlfriend had a 35th anniversary edition SS and it would burn a little oil and at that time she was running vavoline 10w-30 (just regular blend) of course we raced it a little and I think it used a quart by about 2000 miles. My car had the engine replaced by the previous owner at 9998 for piston slap when the car was cold, it still makes a little ticking noise when it is cold, which in my personal experience I think that the ticking is the aluminum heads and the vavles making contact while warming up (now it has like 20,080), but I am running 10w30 valvoline sythetic blend and have noticed barely any oil burning, but it still has burned a little. Personally I think that if this many LS1 cars burn just a little oil when they are driven hard, they can't all have bad rings or what have you. But if you go and have the dealership replace the motor, and it still does it don't be suprised. And yes all Vettes come out of the factory with Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil in them along with all LS1 camaros.
