Rough running motor

OK I know this has happened to someone. My eyes burn from reading the post. My truck has started to run like crap give it gas and it just feels like it doesn't want to go then after a little bit and the rpms go up she just opens up like nothing was wrong. could that be moisture in the cap? the other thing is I just changed the oil 1500 miles ago used a synthetic blend and added risoline. I know that wasn't good from reading other posts but my problem is it burnedover 3 qts of oil in 3 weeks. It doesn't even smoke!!! so where and the heck is my oil going?? oil pressure gage never showed any problems.

Synthetic oil burns alot cleaner than other oils. I would pull the plugs and look at them. If you have any wear on the cylinder walls, the syntheitc will get past alot easier than conventional oil. Your probally burning it and don't realize it.
