Are the temperatures where you live very hot now ? Here in Denver it has been very hot in the past month. I noticed oil has burned in my VG30E engine: the oil in there now is 5w30... maybe to thin for this heat.

You can change to a heavier/thicker oil to see if it burns less . ? . And just check the dipstick periodically.
