If you are burning oil. Check your PCV Valve. Even if you take yours out and you hear it rattle it still could be bad.
So I had been burning about 1 quart every 2500 miles. So my previous oil change I had to refill with two total quarts of oil. I had checked my PCV valve and figured it was good. I did the old rattle test and it seemed good.
I decided to swap it out anyway after going through 2 quarts this last oil change. Well since then which it has been nearly 2000 miles the level is exactly the same. So if you say have bought a used truck and it has always burned oil, of if you recently started burning oil. Swap out that PCV valve. Do not just go off of hearing the rattle so assuming it is not that. Do yourself a favor at least swap it out as it is cheap and easy to do and could very well be that simple of a fix.
