Where Is The Oil Going??

Your average current consumption of 1 qt for every 1750 miles may not be normal but it is not a cause for concern either, at least not yet. Manufacturers will not recognize oil consumption a problem until it increases to a quart or greater per 1000 miles as has already been stated. If your car is still preforming normally then I wouldn't worry about it. Your just out of pocket a few extra bucks between oil changes. If your car's performance diminishes there may be a co-relation with your oil consumption. Keep an eye on that also.
