You said that after your first oil change where the tech said it was 2 qts low, you waited 6000 miles to check your oil level again? You should check your oil at least every time you fill up, or every week. Especially with a car like this, it a world class beast with the second most powerful production engine in GM history, and you have a ZLE.

I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE WITH YOU about the duration I waited.... HOWEVER, that being said this thing is a BRAND NEW car with a 75K sticker price and an oil monitoring system that was still over 50% life even after 6,000 miles. Correct I didn't check the level, but when a car has ZERO leaks, it should consume VERY little oil if the engine is operating properly.
And you can tell from the WIDE margins of stories all over the place that the LT4 is either consuming NONE or consuming quite a bit.... which is what scares me.. Now that I know the car is consuming oil i'm going to keep checking it every 2,000 miles. But in all reality, I don't track this thing, I weekend drive it and I drive it "sportingly" with an occasional high speed sprint here and there....
I just know motors. and in general a motor consuming two quarts in 5,000 miles isn't right.... one quart MAYBE..... two... no.... But i'm sure Chevy is gonna tell me to Pound sand when i even SUGGEST a motor swap.... lmao!
