Default another oil consumption thread

I searched around and didnt see anything about it so I think that is a good thing. But has anyone with 07 HR's run into any oil consumption issues like the rev-ups have? I have 4K and havent. But Im just curious if anyone has and if we have anything to worry about with the HR.

Yeah, I mean a little bit is expected especially with aggresive driving and a lot of revs or with autox. But I just mean the large amounts like what the rev ups were doing.

Yeah realistically last oil change (5000 mile interval - amsoil synthetic 5W30) I burned about 1/8-1/4 of a quart. Nothing that concerns me...

Question

I have found this post of an oil-consuming HR-engine. No clue about the reasons of this case...
