2002 car doesn't use any oil, until we get to about 1 plus years without changing it (only do <2000 miles.year). Then it will go down 1/6 of quart per 1000 miles driven.. No leaks.

?? 2,000 a year?? Driving that few miles and not changing the oil and filter is not only hard on the engine but the battery and mileage. Need to change the oil and filter at least every 4 to 6 months if you use synthetic Oil. With the oil that old some may burn but mostly what happens is slug will built up in the oil pan and some may even clog the Oil Gaile's damaging the engine. Oil gales and engine may need to be flushed.
5.6 miles a day is just Berle enough to keep a charge in the Battery and warm the engine for better gas mileage.
