I guess the good thing about that is that you never have to change the oil. Just keeping topping it off. It will always have fresh oil.

Oil consumption varies from oil brand to oil brand and depends on the use. It is normal to burn some oil inbetween changes. Internal combustion engines burn a little amount of oil each time the piston moves back and forth. As long as oil consumption is constant, there shouldn't be any problems.
with mobil one I was burning a 1quart every oil change
with motul I am burning almost none (1/10 quart every oil change)

My first Z, 2003 enthusiast, no oil burning to 1/3 Qt between oil changes up to NNA buying back at 50K miles. This using Mobil 1.
Current Z, 2005 enthusiast, less than 3K miles ....... no burning yet

Pretty much the same here.
I burn at least one quart every oil change. Mobil 1 10w30.
High rev engine braking (ie- heel n toe and such) will burn more oil. The piston rings depend on cylinder pressure to push them hard on the cylinder wall and scrub excess oil back down the oil pan.
When we’re off throttle, the injectors shutoff, no combustion occur and we end up with a little pressure in the combustion chamber. Oil stays on the cylinder wall and get everywhere in the combustion chamber. It’s then burned when we get back on throttle.
Different oil will also behave differently. Mobil 1 has a good reputation for “evaporating” between oil changes!
