No oil on dipstick

[Doubeleive]

How many miles of engine braking are we talking here?

would have to be hell of a lot, I drive mine likely like 1% or less of drivers and do not burn thru oil like that
more likely burnt rings, bad valve seals, clogged pcv system

Do you use engine braking like 1% or less of drivers?

@Dustin Jackson, in case you have not updated your PCV Valve 'thingy', 12572717.
It even reduced the oil consumption of one of my LT1 Caprices to 'negligible'.

I only engine brake when going through mountains so maybe 4 times a year. I’m using the new valve covers too. Never had oil missing like that tho

Might be enlightening to measure oil level prior to a planned engine braking session, then compare afterward.

I am certainly going to be keeping a closer eye on things.

I will report back here with any mysteries oil related findings.
