Has anyone ever gone through this much oil in 3 months?
No signs of leaking on garage floor, car was bought used with 54k miles, oil has 13,400 miles on it.
( I know not good will do 5k intervals after this one)

edit: no smoking from exhaust or signs of burning oil, car runs great too.

it's probably your oil filter housing gasket. they're known to go bad and cause excessive oil consumption. several members (including myself) have replaced this gasket and have experienced little or no oil consumption afterwards.

here's a few threads that explain the gasket and DIY:
