Well the pressure is off for now.
She took it to be emissions tested yesterday and it passed.

Still will have to investigate why this car is using so much oil.
I wonder if the issue is a clogged PCV. There is some blow-by from the dipstick tube - not a lot, but I suppose there really should not be any. Maybe excess crankcase pressure is causing the excess consumption.

Many ideas, but not enough time to investigate right now, sigh.
