the call up dealer, ask what oil they put in there, and refill with the same.

Default Did you not get an oil change at 10k? Seems odd that the car would be eating so much oil at 14k..(m)

How far is your dealer? Assuming that it's a normal distance, head over and have them check it out. Make sure that it's nothing serious.
