My brother has a 350 mag, 300hp he went on a trip and he wants to know if it is normal for it's engine to have consume just a little shy of 1 quart of oil. His trip lasted 27 hours, rpm was around 4200 to 4500 and sometime peaked at 5000.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... To wind a motor, that tight, for that long,....
Naw, I don't really see a problem yet....

Probably he wants to watch the oil level, 'n see if it's a problem developin' ....

Pull a couple plugs, 'n look for oil telltales...
Any leaks in the bilge,..??
Is there an oil Cooler,..??

He could always do a compression, 'n leak-down tests...
