How much oil should a suburban burn between oil changes every 3 to 4 months?

I had some warranty work done to replace what the service manager at the dealer called a baffle under the valve cover. Oil was getting lost and there was no sign of oil leaks anywhere on the car. Te check engine light has now come on and the engine was low on oil again when I had it changed yesterday. I have had to add oil between oil changes ever since the warranty work was done. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, if normal replace the oil pressure switch. If abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearing.

Also, have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
