Default Any LS2 oil consumption issues?

Has anyone had oil burning issues with their C6, or is that problem a thing of the past with the LS2? I'm in the market for a C6 Coupe and had a 2001 ZO6 repurchased because it was eating a quart of oil every 400 miles.

Thanks for any info.

Dave

Over 2000, not a drop.

How about piston slap? Did they solve this problem too?

Lucky for me, my 98 consumes no oil and has no piston slap. But I know of many others who aren't that lucky.

Here is an article that explains what they did to the LS2 to stop the oil consumption problem.
