Low / No Oil Consumption Gs?
You need to think about using a better filter than a Fram. They're junk, and are probably the worst filter on the market.
The second guy has a series of vids showing various brands. And pretty much nobody "changes" their oil, they do a drain and fill.

I had a 1953 Ford NAA tractor like that. Had it ten years and never changed the oil or filter, just add to it. Just kept running.

I can't imagine where you guys get your opinions about engine oil. 
Using synthetic oil is far better than dino oil, runs cooler and cleaner. Synthetic oil regardless of brand doesn't cause oil consumption. I used Mobil1 in my last Z, didn't use a drop between changes at 125K miles....and it's still on the street. And it's not advisable to go back to dino oil after using synthetic, thought you like to know!

These things you wrote are simply not true.
Please explain then why my Son's Jeep went from no oil consumption with Dyno oil to Horrible oil consumption with Synth oil and back to no oil consumption when we went back to dyno oil?
Wrong. Dead wrong.

my buddy's FD RX7 burn M1 like coke.. using the dino Castrol GTX, it was fine...
i actually go longer.. i change the oil 6000~7500 miles.. (when I get a chance)...
I think with a decent synthetic oil/filter <7500 is nothing to cry about.. pretty sure oils these days can last over 10k miles w no problem..
i use GC with M1 filter (i change my own oil..
)
Again.. i don't drive my car hard at all.. still get 25+ mpg (mostly city).. i even made a post saying that my car is a retard and can't even chirp its tires.
p.s. i always top off my oil though.. (every month or so..) ... supposedly it replenishes the additivesssssss

What some members think they know about oils in this thread LOL!!
Anyway back on topic....
06 Revup:
Factory original = 1qt/2300mi.
Revup TSB replacement = .75 qt/5000 mi (a lot of that gets collected in my catch can btw)
UOA's FTW!!

This is a bold statement (common theme in the forum) -- wondering if you could enlighten us as I'm no expert, with some details.

Your buddy should know not to run synthetic on the rotary and they burn oil regardless. Most run Royal Purple as it doesn't burn as much. Although my FD oil consumption is half a quart per 3500 miles, FD owners should always monitor their oil level else BOOM.

It would be at the lower mark or the "add" mark on most dipsticks.
