2017 Buick Verano 2.4 L 4cylinder oil burning issue
i’ve been having issues with my cars engine for a few months now, the last time i got the oil changed was almost around 1,500 miles ago.
about 500 miles into the oil change all of the engine oil had burnt up. so i added another 5 quarts, not even 1,000 miles later, all of that oil is now burnt as well, completely bone dry
i am estimating i’m losing around 1 quart of oil at least per week, and i don’t drive much, does anyone have any insight or advice on what i should do?

i bought the car with 57,000 miles and it currently has 115,000
well, before the last oil change stated in the original post i only had my oil changed at a place called hoods up quick lube. i had the oil changed roughly every 4,000 miles. The most recent oil change (from the original post) was done at a Valvoline. i don’t think valvoline had anything to do with it though.
So . . .
4,000mi - change oil at hoods up quick lube - no issues
4,000mi - change oil at hoods up quick lube - no issues
4,000mi - change oil at hoods up quick lube - no issues
4,000mi - change oil at hoods up quick lube - no issues
4,000mi - change oil at hoods up quick lube - no issues
4,000mi - change oil at Valvoline
500mi - Oil all gone, added 5 quarts
1000mi - Oil all gone again
. . . right?
Why don't you think Valvoline had something to do with it?
Also, "bone dry" as described above would seize the engine . . . so I suspect the dipstick was bone dry, not the oil pan, right?
Totally guessing right now based on what I know of the situation: It is possible they put some really thin oil in there and it'* getting past the rings and then getting digested. The oil you put in lasted twice as long, so that might confirm my guess.
When you put 5 quarts in after you found it bone dry after the first 500 miles, what was the reading on the dipstick?
