maybe a 1/4 of a quart to a half quart deppending on how hard you run it. but if you had one quart then you really should keep an eye on your oil consumption. check the level when the engine is cold at least once a week or once every two weeks.
and for god's sake change your own oil man. those guys at the corner shops slap on the worst possible filters and the crappiest oils they can get. you might as well lubricate the cylinders with cooking grease.
