My 2005 CR-V with 102k miles consumes about 1 quart every 750 miles. What would be the most cost effective way for me to proceed? Should I use cheap, non-synthetic oil? Do I even have to change my oil seeing as I'm burning it and replacing it periodically? If any of you have had this problem, what did you do about it?
Thanks!

Let's start by changing the PCV valve.
If blocked, it pressurizes the engine and oil escapes without trace...

Is this something I can do myself? I don't have a lot of experience but i'm willing to learn.
