03 5.3L Flex.
Only have 5 week on it since reman trans, fixed some oil leaks and fresh oil change. Checked today, which is likely 4 weeks since last check, and was down .5 qrt. Likely have less then 1,000 miles on this oil, so .5 qrt is a lot.
I do not know what oil has been run before, but went with the recommended weight of 5W-30. Valvoline High Mileage to be specific.
Going to log the mileage and note the level, and monitor til next oil change. May change weight and/or back to non high mileage for next service.
Anyone else notice an increase in consumption using the 5W-30 and changed and it was reduced?
