It now has 125K miles on it. I started using 1 qt of Mobil1 in with 3 quarts semi-synthetic. It runs better and gets better gas mileage. But the oil consumption is now 1 US quart per 2000 miles. Is there an easy way to fix this? I just started using the Mobil1 a few K miles ago. I've heard it could be the "valve seals" which may be easy to replace, but now you just mentioned some other seals which sound more complicated and expensive.
