Does you Evo eat oil?
I have roughly 23k on my EVO. I'd say I drive it slightly agressive, but not abusive (I always get 21-22mpg, mixed city and highway driving). Mine burns about a quart of oil between every oil change and I generally go 4000 miles between oil changes. I expressed a concern at the dealership with my first oil change when it was low, and they said it was normal.
Just checked my oil level yesterday. It appears I'm down a quart. I have 7k miles on it. Followed mitsu breakin procedures. This is the first time, that I've noticed it ever being low.

I test drive cars like I stole it!
I got mine with 7 miles on the odometer and had to fill 1/5 quart of oil after 3500 miles, before my first oil change.
I do burn off some oil, fairly minimal but still something to regularly double check for reassurance.

I would run a nonsynthetic for a while. When I first got my car, it went through a couple quart of Mobil1 the first month or so. I guess that's what you get for doing the ExpressBreakIn (tm) at Summit Point.
After that, I started to use some 15w40 nonsynthetic and the car really likes it. Oil temps don't go above 90C on the track, so I'm going to leave it in there. Consumption's down, also.
