My car had a replacement block before I bought it and even now it burns around a qt every 3k maybe a tad less, but I red line the car a lot. Most higer revving cars the Z included will slip oil past the rings at high rpms, with my red line upped a few hundred RPMS you can smell the oil no doubt, the question is if it is excessive. I take it the factory 5/60 is expired? Because good luck getting an after market warranty to pay for oil consumption, because they wont, they will make you authorize the engine tear down, and if there is no part FAILURE(ring issues at the least the ones I have called in are not considered a failure I have yet to get any after market company to fix an OC car...) you are getting stiffed for the tear down. Honda of America considers 1 qt evet 3k miles acceptable, and the SI they are even less stringent on, oil consumption tests on an SI is always the same answer...
