funny thing is Chevy at one time used this as the benchmark for warranty !

I will try to find the picture.. but my brother piped his PVC hose into the side of his airfilter and sealed it .
This on a low 11 Sec 455 Firebird. I thought it was a prank when he first sent me the picture...lol

I know...they still use it. My dad bought a 2001 Camero and it used a quart in 500 and they said it was perfectly normal. It didn't matter to them that 99% of the public drives about 12000 miles per year, and check their oil about once a year. With those numbers, the pan would be long dry and th rods hanging out if a quart in 500 was standard.
