Mobil 1 every 5k miles. Mobil 1 seems to burn up a bit though, about .5 quart every 1k miles.

Wait for it. I changed mine at 4300ish when oil life was at 10%.

Neither S I own burns any noticeable amount of oil. Have you looked at your plugs to see if it's all or just one cylinder with the problem. I have like 8,000 miles on one of them and the oil level is pretty much the same as when I filled it.
