I have a 1996 850GLT non-turbo with 130,000 miles and have noticed recently that the oil consumption is going up. I do not see any smoke while driving, and there is no leaks in the gargage, but the car is using between a quart and a quart and a half of oil between 5,000 mile changes. Currently running Castrol 20-50.

Just curious, is there something I should be checking besides the oil level????
