How many miles did your engine last before it ate oil
Mine lasted 70,000 miles before it started to eat about a half quart of oil. I swapped out the engine at 85,000 for a 19,000 beta. 
:biggrin: Ive heard betas like to eat oil right around the 50,000 mark so I'll have to keep an eye on it.

1/2 quart between changes is "normal."
Don't even think about it at a quart, just keep it topped off.
Mine is around 170k and "somewhere in there" on oil consumption.
