'I use Phillips XC. 25-65 in the summer, 15-50 the rest of the year. My oil consumption is a little less than 1 quart per hour. It will consume more that a quart per hour, if I speed up.

'25w60 all the time...Used regular(not straight min) Aeroshell 120 for many
years as well. Just easier to pour the multi-vis in the cooler weather:)
MMO too, cus it smells good and does appear to prevent carbon fouling and
stuck rings.

1qt plus per hour is normal.
