Ok, I have about 2300 miles on my car. I had it since mid Sept.
I go check the oil today (1st time since I bought the car, and I know to check regularly but I either was too lazy or forgot) and it was low, i mean below the 1st dot low. So i put in a quart of Mobil 1.
Does this engine burn that much oil????

It's normal. During break-in it's normal to burn off some oil. Just check it regularly until your first oil change (like once a week or during fillup) I am 30% down from full now (70% from low point), and I only have 800 miles on it. Gonna fill up the oil now

Stops huh! 14k plus and still uses oil. I am not to impressed with this motor and it is most likely blow by than burning of the oil. I swithced to 10/30 wt. oil we shall see if this helps. The dealer said this is normal and many on this board say it is a trait of the K-series motors K-20 K-24 ETC. ETC. I personally don't buy it, a new car should not have an issue with blow by or oil consumption of any sort.
