Chevy 5.3 oil capacity quandry..
I bought a used 2000, 1500 Suburban 4x4 with a "new" (40,000 miles) engine from a wreck in it. Long story but, my wife picked it out, test drove it, etc.. She's actually pretty good at that, histori...

My first thought was an aftermarket higher capacity oil pan added during the engine swap or too short of dipstick. But a newer engine is certainly a possibility because crate engines from a dealer or source like Summit is a common swap.
My old truck 7.4L chevy would use a quart of oil every 1000 miles with no visible smoke. I added a product called Restore, it's an oil additive at auto parts stores. It stopped burning oil after 500 miles.
