the factory gage can be inaccurate....check and clean the plug that connects to the sender...it down behind the waterpump...

Id think you'll have to monitor the oil use....using a qt between oil changes isn't that bad really...depends how many miles you went compared to how much it woofed...mines drinks some oil...i have no leaks and only 72k on it...i like to play around and usually run it to the upper rpms all gears...so I expect some usage...and I have it... Nothing to crazy but it uses some...I run 10/40

Change the sending unit. I had the exact same problem and it was a faulty sending unit that was getting worse over time.
