My old 72 Ford Pinto consumed over a qt of oil every thousand miles when it was new. I never changed oil. I just added. The engine quit at about 125,000 and I had it towed and rebuilt. Mechanic called and said he never saw anything like it. There was almost 3" of sludge in the bottom of my oil pan. When they drained the oil they only got out a couple of qts although dip stick said full.
Since then I change oil and filter often. Probably more than required. Oil is cheap compared to break downs and where the happen.
I think this should answer the OP's question. :S
My son's dodge neon went 40,000 miles without an oil change until it broke. The sticker was still in the window.
Bad idea too I think.
