Oil Consumption Question

What is a typical amount of oil consumption with the NHC250 engine?

Just trying to figure how many miles per quart to expect in normal usage.
Your experiences are appreciated.

I have several Nhc 250s and none burn any oil. The older M813 smokes a little on start up, nature of the beast, oil stay at the full mark.

Good to know... I just figured if the average car uses 1qt ever 2000mi or so, then an engine 4x the size may use it at a somewhat higher rate.

I've only put a about 200mi on mine so far & considering the difference between full & add is measured in gallons, not quarts I did not know what to expect.

I've got 200,000 miles on a 4 cylinder mercury mystique, don't know where you're getting 1 qt every 2000 miles..... Don't think I've needed to add oil between the 7500-10,000 mile oil changes with Amsoil.
