Twice now I've got the warning on my DIC, "Oil level low, add Oil"
I just drove 1500 miles to TX from MI and only stopped for gas. Apparently I burned 1qt of oil in the process. Looking at the Service Manual, this is supposed to be normal and burning 1qt for each 100 gallons of gas or 1qt/2000 miles is normal.
Are you guys experiencing this burn?
What have you done to remedy this?

I had planned on putting Mobil 1 in before I return to MI, but if I'm just going to burn a quart of it, I'll just go organic.

Ever since I changed my oil with Mobil-1 Synthetic Extended Performance 15,000 mile oil in January, almost a year ago, I haven't added a drop of ny more oil and I'm fine with no DIC messages at all, take thay your Tahoe to the dealer and have it checked out!

Hopefully that works. With the scarcity of Mobil 1 5W-30 now, I hate to waste it on a vehicle that burns Oil. I can keep it for my CTS-V!

No oil problems at ~23k miles and I am using regular dino oil.
