How much are you using? Are there any leaks? Is it burning it?

It's using between 1 to 2 quarts, can't find any leaks, and it's not smoking, or missing. Oil pressure gague moves from around 30 when idleing 40 whendriving, power seems to be ok. ( Using 1 to 2 quarts between oil change). Thanks!

If you are using 1 or 2 qts between oil changes (I will assume every 3K) believe it or not, that isn't excessive. The engine is burning it, but such a small amount, you can't see it. Some manufacturers say it is normal to use a qt every 1K.
