Default 2009 suburban burning oil

It's called AFM - active fuel management.

Google it for some light reading. Notice my two trucks do not have AFM engines.

You can put in a catch can, or, IIRC, the updated valve cover with the deflector.

There is a defect/TSB but it's cheaper to just keep burning oil... or in my case, the Tahoe won't be driven daily once my wife has a Tesla Model 3. No oil to burn
