If you are having a lot of consumption... like way more than you feel should be happening, you might want to get the engine tested. You could have bad rings?

Really, the LS4 consumption is case-by-case. Some have minor-very minor consumption; about 1 qt. every 3-5k miles (I would put myself in this category). Some have no problems. Some go through a quart every 800 miles.
