Could you elaborate on this claim? I have never heard of too little
oil consumption being indicative of any problem.


Oil has to lubricate the piston ring/cylinder point. Some of that gets
left on the walls and burns during the normal combustion event. A quick
web search turns up 1qt/15h as a rough lower bound.
