Increased oil consumption at ~65K miles?

Lasted only maybe a minute or so, but she was so close to stalling that I didn't wait to see if the issue self-corrected: I goosed the gas a little, and as soon as I did the engine smoothed out and the voltage went back to 14.

I'll bring it back to the same shop next weekend; I can't get there today/sooner. Again, both for continuity and because if they didn't tighten something properly (or whatever) I won't pay for the fix.

*sigh*

Has anyone cleaned the throttle bodies or looked at the air filters? This sound like an Idle air control issue that needs to be addressed. The voltage will drop on the gauge as the idle drops. This is a non-issue.

For those who want to know how to clean the throttle bodies. First watch this:

Then watch this:

After you do this you can go clean the MAF sensors, here's a vid:

I change every 5000 km or every 3000 miles (For you Yanks). I use a KN Gold filter. Oil? I use Motul Xclean 5w30 because it makes me feel good. If you are keeping regular intervals and using a quality filter, any synthetic oil will do.
