hard to say, if you go on a big cruise, the PVC system on the engine will burn all the crap out of the oil. thus changing oil level or you have a bad oil leak, or you need to get someone to follow you when you drive to see if it is burning oil.

its maybe the oil your using could be too thin, but its not unusual for your car to burn a bit oil, but if your consuming alot of oil your probably using oil thats too thin, and you might want to go to a thicker grade on your next oil change
