It is hard to say, but the Fram filters tend to have more resistance in their filter media and this tends to affect the way the engines oil up. All I can say is to try another filter and see what happens. I run the NAPA Gold filters on my and my son's vehicles. (84 GMC 385 stroker engine, 85 Silverado 350 engine, 2007 Impala 3.5 engine, 2009 Pontiac G8 6.0 litre engine, 2011 GMC 5.3 litre engine) They are made by Wix filters, and after working at a County Highway Department and seeing that the Napa stuff worked a lot better than the Fram stuff, we changed over to theirs. That is where I first experienced the oil consumption issue with Fram.
