Anyway, this LME motor has more clearance than the OEM, so it makes sense that it would pass more fluid. It does not consume oil, though.
As of this fall my 2023 ZL1 I will see about a table spoon at every oil change, it's mocha/milky consistency and color. Nothing bad looking, nothing bad smelling either, but I run straight E85 as well, so consider that as well!
