Does anyone have oil burning issues?
158k + miles now.
She burns through a quart every 11 - 1200 miles. There is no oil under the engine or under the car at all. There is no smoke or colored exhaust coming from the tail pipe. Just a little bit of oil on the ground behind the tail pipe from time to time. I can also smell it, it's subtle, yet there.
She is my daily driver and I drive about 70 miles a day. Average speed, 70+/-.
I've been using various products to clean the motor every gas fill up.
Anybody else deal with these issues?

Sure. Got my '06 from the OO at about 165k, with all the receipts showing that the dealer (yeccch) changed the oil every 5k (I would do it at 3k but it wasn't my car then). It's burning a quart or so in 3k. Just hitting 180k now. Clean everywhere. I'll evaluate after the major maintenance and decide whether to do something.

1 quart in 1k seems a bit much. Are you sure it's motor oil behind the tailpipe?
