I thought that it burned oil from the #6 cylinder not getting enough lube, therefore getting hotter than the others and burning the oil. The newer revised 3.5L engines have that problem fixed.




This interpretation is not really correct. The lower piston ring drain holes become clooged with use, turning the pistons into vacuum pumps pushing hot oil gases into the PCV region, then to the plenum, whereupon those hot gases are released into the environment.
