Excessive oil burning

Burning about a quart of oil every oil change. Short of a rebuild, what can I do to help cure some of the excessive burning?

Run two bottle of Auto-RX. My link

I had a car that burned a quart every 500 miles and after 2 bottles and 10k miles it didn't burn any. Gas mileage went way up too.

It is in the normal range but that doesn't mean you can not reduce it.

Maybe but I don't bother. By the time my car is down a quart, it's getting 5 new quarts already. Not a worry.
