How much? Up to a quart every 1000 miles or 30 days seems common. Mine does it. But I think at least half is leaking rather than being burnt.

Over 16 years & 106K miles I have had no leaks & have never had anything near that volume. More like a quart every 6-10,000 miles/1year.

I bought mine 13 years ago at 135,000 miles and had similar usage. Today I'm at 255,000 miles and I use between 0.5 and 1 qt a month, but as I said I think a lot is leaks.

I do have a lot more startup valve lash than I used to even with an excellent oil filter with good anti drain back valve.

I understand that VQ oil consumption is common, but I'd also like to say that mine didn't have the issue.  Mine had 147k miles and never lost oil except one time when I pushed it really hard two days in a row.

are you sure yours is actually a pathfinder? ?
