so you dont have any leaks that you can find?
and no excessive smoke? that is a mistery, cause if its not dripping anywhere it has to burn in the motor,, that indicates that injector oring has failed, and you get fuel mixed with oil,
you better get to the bottom of it cause you dont want to Hydrolock the motor,
have somone do compression check you know which cylinder or cylinders are causing the problem,
byt as far as i can say its a injector oring problem,
and BTW welcome to FTE, you get as much help as you can think of here,

20qts??? My friend, IIANM, there is 3 places oil can go. Leak, external and visible. Burning it during combustion and therefore smoke, visible. Or into coolant via injector cups and also visible in the coolant but 20qts? It should have overflowed that by now. Check your coolant first and post back.
Edit: Oh, among the three or third, I should have just said via the injectors like Pete mentioned. It could also be getting into the fuel rail there. That would probably result in oil in the filter bowl at that loss rate.

there is light smoke when i first start it but it quits when the engine is warm. Nothing in my coolant thats good. It does start kind of hard like it is cold out side. So that might be the o ring? thanks to all!
