My 11 model burned so much oil from new it would have run dry if I didn't check it every 2 weeks.
It took them 2 years to admit it and do the tech mod fix thing. I was dubious but it has not used a drop since.
Had no effect on performance or economy. Has not missed a beat for the last 2 years.

Any idea what the tech mod thing was then?

No idea, but I'm going to be selling mine soon. My ute has been the most problematic car I have ever owned. As a result I refuse to buy another Holden!!

Sorry, did a big reply and lost it all and couldn't be arsed doing it again. No wonder I don't come here much, thought it was all the same exhaust and wheel posts. Or the why don't my cheap **** tyres stick.
CARRIED OUT ECM AND TCM REPROGRAMMING AS PER TAC

It's all in the past exessive oil consumption threads. They say a flap type valve often does not fully close and when you hit the throttle too much of the oil in the intake gets sucked through to burn.
I can only assume it is the main throttle butterfly valve but not sure. The reprogramming makes it close fully.
