Excessive oil consumption 850

1993 850 GLT

I've been running Rotella T since June. I've done ONE oil change.
I haven't HAD to make any other oil changes cuz I am frequently pouring 2qts every month or so.
No leaks under car, slight drip around drain plug.
No sooty deposits around tailpipe, nothing i can write my name in with my finger.
Could the Flame Trap be spoon-feeding the intake with oil?

I've yet to make true internal inspections, this vehicle is used A LOT.
Just looking for other clues and points to consider.
