burning oil

[PunishedC10]

I was curious how much oil should a motor with 115,000 miles be burning between, let's say 3,000 miles. I believe my motor is burning almost a quart every 5,000 miles. I use royal purple full sythetic 10w-30. I change it every 5000miles.
nevermind I dont believe it's burning as much as i thought

You probably just need a catch can or breathers instead of the pcv system,my 03 would burn a quart every 3000 until I put breathers on it. Didnt use a drop after.

Sorry dont mean to hijack but do you have a picture or advice on how to install the catch can? And bypass the pvc. I think that is my problem also. That and the rear main.

i think gm revised a pcv valve for that problem.saying on some of the originals it was letting oil through into intake then combustion chamber.i was using about 1/2 quart between oil changes and now with my new pcv i have had 3 oil changes and havent used any oil.i want to say it was only like 3-6$ at blorielly's.
