Oil consumption

I have a 2001 Tahoe. I maintain a decent PM on this vehicle. The oil is changed between 3000 to 5000 miles. I now have 58,000 on it and it runs top notch other than the regular quirks that pop up now and then with the Hoe. I noticed a usage of oil, 1/2 to a quart about every couple thousand miles. I have crawl over and under the engine and there are no leaks, none on the car port. I always kept my engines clean so that I can spot leaks. I was told somewhere that oil consumption was normal for the 5.3L. Just wondering if anybody else has experience this with thier Hoe and could explain it....
