I would always carry at least two quarts in the X. I would then make a routine (which should be a common practice), to check the oil every week on a particular day. Saturday morning is when I check and usually clean my cars. If you are driving more than 500 miles a week, then I would sugest checking it twice a week. If it becomes routine you will not forget.

Which oil? Go thicker weight.

Maybe check it for compression. If you don't see if leaking out, its probably burning up. I would pay a good shop to evaluate it if you are like me and lack the tools or skill to tackle something that is not "obvious."

I know 40w helps considerably with the N62 in relation to the consumption.

I use Rotella T6 5w-40 year round and takes me about 2500 miles to go through a quart.
Make sure your CCV isn't clogged up as well.

Ricky Bobby, is there an easy way to tell if the CCV is clogged?

I use our 5W-40 oil and have seen little to no oil comsumption. Of course your case may be different but doesnt hurt to try. Check the spark plugs for oil to start.
