My oil consumption tends to increase as the oil gets more miles on it. I always figured it was because the oil shears down more and gets thinner and thinner the longer it's in use.

I hate to say it.. but after doing some research, my guess is you've got a passenger side head gasket leak. More specifically, the bottom front corner appears to be leaking.

Lubromoly 5w-40 is a pretty good oil. It meets acea A3/A4 (among other longlife certs) which is good, and means that the oil can safely run extended drain intervals while staying in grade and not...
