Update - 2011 Silverado using oil. OK - I had the 6.2 motor replaced with new "crate engine" (fully covered by warranty), and now have over 1000 miles on it. My original motor would have used about a quart of oil so far, and this one is reading same as when put in service (full.) I expected some use due to break-in, but have not noticed any. Things are looking good so far, I hope this engine remains "tight". Going through the oil consumption checks was a pain, but in the end Chevy/GM did the right thing. Wish the best of luck to you all.

I have a 2011 Silverado LTZ 4x4 with Max Trailer tow package. Great truck, I purchased it new and it always used a bit of oil from the start - about 1 Qt per 3K miles. At about 30K, started using more oil - no leaks, no smoke. Burning / using about 2 quarts every 3K miles. I brought truck to dealership where purchased, they did an oil consumption test (takes some time, and several visits to dealership) and found that motor was consuming more oil than normal. Chevy has agreed to address the problem - will report back on the fix once complete. If you are having similar problems, be persistent and take truck to dealer - I am thinking that Chevy will want to to the right thing and correct the issue. They did for me.
