You are correct about 3-4qts and no smoke but we are here to help give a direction for a repair. By pulling the plugs he could check for oil burning. but he also needs to check externally which I agree with you on... hard to say that he has a blown head gasket. Usually you either get oil/coolant into the combustion chamber (smoke), or just coolant but have overheating concerns, maybe running hotter than normal and have to replace the coolant, or oil leaks out externally around head/block mating surface which should be visable at the rate it is disappearing. I dont think you are being a jerk or anything though... you have your experiences and I have mine
