Oil loss 2000 xlt 3.0
I have a 2000 3.0 with around 230 k. It has been burning oil. Maybe a quart a week with lots of driving. It doesn't smoke. There is no oil on the ground. There is no burning oil smell when I drive. No noticeable leaks under the truck. Besides keeping it topped off can I do anything else to help the issue?

Well oil doesn't evaporate so its going somewhere
That can either be a leak to the ground, or out the tail pipe(burned)
Look at the tail pipe and run your finger around the inside, blackish residue is oil being burned
Pull a few spark plugs and have a look, burning oil causes blacker color tips
Look under vehicle toward rear of engine, for oil coating, great for rust protections but expensive way to do it, lol
