    I believe this is a very low oil consumption.
    4 ounces per 5 k miles...
    About 1 ounce per 1000miles...

    I'll give you 3:1 odds it will be back unless you nick the problem in the bud.

    Try USB's advice first, and clean the MAF sensor and air throttle. Five minutes, some rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol for the sensor and brake fluid cleaner for the butterfly is all you need. Bob Wilson posted a How To thread if you have not performed this task before.

    I find it easiest to spend another 30 seconds to remove the sensor. That way I can just dump it into a baggy with the alcohol, swish it around gently, then let it dry before putting it back. I clean the butterfly while waiting for the sensor to dry. Taking the sensor out also prevents me from spraying it with the carb cleaner, which is a no no.

    217,301 taking 2 weeks much needed vacation.
    headlight replaced again, I drive at night so they are on constantly
    tires have 5/32 left they could possibly last me another 2 months but since I have time now to replace I will
    They have lasted me 92,397 miles rated to 80K rotated every 5K
    I am switching back to oem tires as they have given me the most mpg
