Is it normal for the North Star engine to use a quart of oil in under 2000 miles?

That answer is incorrect! A northstar engine WILL burn about a quart of oil per 2-3k miles. Why? Because the engine has rings/pistons from an engine designed for racing (Much higher speeds and temps) The normal wear and tear you put on the engine doesn't even come close to the design specs. Therefore, the rings/pistons have a LOT of room. At least a couple thousandths of an inch more. (I used to work on newer Caddies) you CAN if you want get a new ring job, but as long as you stay on top of it and its not smoking... No. A properly maintained engine should not use oil at anywhere near that rate.

Why does my low oil light comes on in your 2000 Oldsmobile intrigue about every 1000 miles is this normal?
Apparently it is normal and would make perfect sense. Another contributer on this site stated that the 3.5-liter engine uses about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. It could be your oil sensor is very sensitive and illuminating to inform you when it only gets a quart low.

What is the normal reading for oil pressure for a 1999 suburban w a 5.7?
Who knows? Typically engine life is more a function of oil volume rather than pressure, but oil volume is difficult to measure. The oil pressure on these trucks goes up and down as you drive. At idle it can get frighteningly low after the engine has some miles on it. I use a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer to replace one quart of oil at oil change. This seems to help all the way around. My 98 has 275,000 miles.
Is it normal for a 2000 VW Jetta to need a quart of oil every 2000 miles?
There is no such thing as normal. The use of 1 qt every 2,000 miles is not excessive. Depends on how the car is driven, maintained, and miles on the vehicle. Jettas use a lot of oil compared to other cars.
