Default '01 Ring problem

I have read here that the early productions may have had a ring problem. Did GM fix it prior to my production or should I be concerned? Doesn't seem to be using oil. Shows on the door sticker Mfd. 12/00.

Default 01 rings

Welcome to the CF! My 01 Z06 was built in 8/00, it will burn a qt of oil between 1300 and 1500 miles, I don't care about it. My car was early production, and GM didn't think this was a problem. I do think changes took place before your car was built. If it doesn't burn oil, drive it like you stole it! Enjoy your Z, and if you have a question ask it!!!
