Question on oil burned in a C206T

How much oil burn is normal for a Cessna 206 Turbo? I'm still new to the aviation world. I've had my private license for 3 years and we have an 07 206 that we fly. Just wondering how much oil burn is normal for this type aircraft. thanks!

We operate a turbo TP206D. Oil burn is virtually zero.

An engine around the 540/550 cubic inches should burn around 1 quart every 10hrs if in good condition.

Depends on the type of flying done also; short hops with heavy loads or long (constant power setting) cross countries?
Are you sure it is burning it or is it leaking somewhere's?
Old mechanics joke: if you want the bottom to leak buy Lycoming if you want the top to leak buy Continental.
In short; we could use some more info here to give you better advise......
