Update:
After 1400 miles I am just an eek under the full mark. Probably lost 1/8th of a quart. I have been driving her quite hard to see how she is on consumption.
Prior to the mod, I would have already burnt through 1 quart and well on my way to needing to add another quart soon.
At my current rate, with 175,000 miles on my motor, I would say I will be consuming a quart every 4000 miles, maybe more. I know once the oil gets past 2000 miles, it breaks down and is consumed quicker. I have witnessed this in many higher mileage vehicles I have owned.
All in all, I would say this mod is a complete success. I will follow up when I officially need to add a quart.
