I switched to Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 at 35,000 miles and the oil consumption dropped to less than half a quart every 5000 miles. Maybe it was the oil, maybe the engine just settled down and was fully broken in.
The bad news is that the Pennz. Ultra is no longer available so we'll see what happens when I switch back to Redline when my stash of Ultra is used up.
Side note: It is now Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum.
