Hi, All
Thanks for all the info.and suggestions. It is engine oil ( $5/qt
Mobil 1 5W40 ). No other fluid disappears at the rate of a quart
per 130 miles, with no apparent leaks. Yesterday here in good old
Massachusetts, on Rt128, there were 6 or so morons playing grab-ass
in the two left lanes in front of me, so I avoided them and went
past at good speed to the accompaniment of a slight blue haze,
considerably in excess of 55 mph.
When the Valve guide seals were recently replaced the intake
valve guides were well within spec. and the exhaust guide
clearances were at the upper limit.
TIA

More likely than not, an engine that smokes blue under acceleration
has bad piston rings.
