How much oil does your h2 burn?

How much and in how many miles?

Mine seems to be burning 1/2 court every 3k or so.

I fill it with six quarts and new filter at oil change time. I've read the 6.0 vortec is known for burning oil, but Lojac just said his doesn't burn any.

I only have 76k on the truck

My 2007 SUT has 132,000 miles on it, mostly highway miles, but some towing too, and I change the oil every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic. It uses about a half quart every 5000 miles.

That what I thought mine was going also. Then I added a half court half way through the oil change and now 3k later it's down again.

It's almost like I don't go through any oil unless it's topped off to full capacity.

I'm going to pay attention a bit more closely this time. I went ahead and got Royal purple. I couldn't stomach the conventional just yet. Plus, RP just came out with a high mileage oil I might try next time around. Although the way the motor has been maintained I don't see why it would need a high mileage motor.

I'm on my third H2 and have never had an oil issue except for my 2003, that I bought new. It used a little over a half quart the first 2000 miles and then never used any oil after that. My current 2006 has 45,000 miles and has never used any oil except when we head up to the cabin on those very steep dirt roads, probably splashes up on the crank - the road isn't like Moab, but it's close and the main reason I've always had Hummers. I change the oil every 3000 miles and use Valvoline Synthetic, although I used to use Mobil 1.
Afterthought
I also had a 2006 H3 that did a little better on the trail because of it's narrower width and MTR tires, however it just couldn't carry enough of my wife's "stuff" back and forth to the cabin. That I 5 never used any oil.

I just changed my oil yesterday. It had been 8 months and 3,000 miles (miles are higher than that due to 37" tires). Put in 6 quarts plus a new filter. When I poured the old oil into the 5 qt container, it filled it to the brim. So I'm burning somewhat less than a quart, probably close to half a quart.

I'm going to change the oil today, and keep a close eye on things.

It seems I might be burning oil only when I'm topped off to the full mark. Once down a dot on the dipstick I don't seem to be burning any oil.

Again, going to confirm....
