We bought a new Suburban in 2007, and it used about a quart every 2000 miles. I was pretty upset over this, had it back to the dealer several times. No leaks anywhere, it had to be burning it. Put about 5 or 6000 miles on it, seeing if it would break-in or get better, but there was no change. They claimed that consumption was within factory specs! Maybe so, but that is the first new vehicle I've ever seen use oil like that. Finally, the dealer switched it to Mobil One synthetic. Problem cured - negligible consumption between oil changes - and that was going from a change every 3000 miles to around 7500 miles. It now has about 170,000 miles on it, and has worked its way up to about using a quart every 6,000 miles. That's nothing to be happy about, but a lot better than how it started. I don't know how the synthetic cured the problem back in the beginning, but it did.
