welcome, but...

you'll want to start a new thread about dad's car and what is a good thing to do to get it started.

In that thread, you'll discover that it's got a fuel injected engine (no carb) and that its fuel injection system get gummy from sitting for years and needs cleaning most likely.

Burning oil is a relative concept too. A quart of oil over 1,000 miles is within "acceptable limits". It has 8 quarts in the pan, but don't let 3 of those quarts burn away or you're looking for real trouble.
