I thought I'd seen a thread on this, but trying to search for it just leaves me with the terms being too common.

I haven't seen any sign of leaks, and I've had to add a quart since the last oil change in November. I didn't have to add any before then, and I never had any loss in my '13, with the same engine. I don't think I've ever had any engine that lost/used oil this fast without a leak.

What year, miles, engine?
 






Year is shown in the profile (margin).;) Since he has a class III OEM tow package I'm guessing it has the N/A 3.5 V6. He was at 36k on August 1st but I'll let him confirm (checked previous posts).:)

Hold it so it is in landscape mode (horizontal) and see if it makes a difference.

Do you change the oil yourself or take it somewhere? Maybe when it was changed last it wasn't actually filled all the way.

I took it to the dealer, and I've had to add 1/2 quart twice since then. I assumed the first time that they just didn't fill it all the way, but I checked it multiple times in between.
