Yeah, manufacturers usually give 1/2 to 1 quart of oil consumption for every 3k

Ok good thanks alot!! And also what made me think was he got the car 2 months ago and wants to sell it cuz he needs money for college. But he's been more than whilling to get it checked out for me.

03 dont have ACD, 05 have ACD...there are other differences too, but nothing major. You will only see the big differences between the 8 and 9.

Run AMSOIL in the motor. Oil consumption is very minimal for me when running it.

There was a thread on this just the other week, why does no one search for an answer first. Yes, some oil consumption is normal.

I have used RP since day one. My car in 3k doesnt burn any oil at all. 1/2-1 qt of oil every 3k is normal tho isnt bad. depending on how u drive
