Message Just got back from ZdayZ, 300 miles up, 300 miles back, and about 270 miles worth of dragon runs and other misc driving. End result: went through an entire quart of oil... WTF?

Ive always had an oil "consumption" between changes, roughly a quart per 3k, no smoke ever, no leaks what so ever. But this is ridiculous, vacuum is 20-21 inches of mercury (defi gauge). Always have run royal purple for 3.5 years, i used to run mobil 1 but back then my consumption was about a quart every 1500, same viscosity. Engine feels fine, last compression test was probably a year ago (was deployed for 6 of those months) and it was 160-165 on all cylinders. about 40k on the engine and turbos. What gives?
