very high oil consumption 2000 gs300
im kind of stumped here. I have a 2000 gs300 with 230,000 miles... it has been using a lot of oil in the past year and recently last month I had an oil change and after about 500 miles of driving the dipstick is dry!!!
I recently had the valve cover gaskets replaced along with some new plugs, no other leaking visible. No oil on the ground. The car runs well, absolutely no smoke, white or blue coming out of the tailpipes, under load and under cold startup in the morning. I even followed my car with someone else driving it to see if i could see any smoke? no dice
can anyone point me in the right direction?

Fill again, and let us know what is happening after 50miles, 100miles all the way to 500miles, etc.

oil level was above the second bump on the dipstick right after the oil change. I would think with that much oil loss I would see some kind of blue smoke , even a little at startup if I was burning it. Car runs smooth as silk, this is the only problem with the car and it is frustrating
