THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A POST DURING A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A ROAD. THE PLT HAD BEEN FLYING ON THIS FLT FOR 2 AND A HALF HOURS WHEN HE NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE GO TO ZERO. HE LANDED ON A HIGHWAY AND DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE RIGHT WING HIT A SIGNPOST WHICH CAUSED THE ACFT TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH. THE PLT SAID HE ADDED A QUART OF OIL TO THE ACFT PRIORTO TAKEOFF WHICH BROUGHT THE OIL LEVEL UP TO 9 QUARTS. AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE ACFT CONTAINED 3 TO 4 QTS OF OIL. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OIL LEAK. THE ENGINE WAS PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED AND NO REASON WAS FOUND FOR THE OIL LOSS OR CONSUMPTION OF 5 OR 6 QUARTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS.
