Default I don't know about you but I'd seriously think something is up at that rate!

1qt per 1k miles??? Hell no!

Default I don't care what anyone says burning 1 quart per 1k miles is NOT normal.

Of course the dealer will tell you that if that is what you're experiencing. How does that explain others who don't burn a single drop of oil? Now I've only got around 3,500 miles but the oil is still full. I dunno, just seems odd to me.

Default The MANUFACTURER says its normal not the dealer. A lot has to do with driving style....

I redline or close to it, a lot. My Acura used to use a smilar amount of oil and Honda Canada also confirmed that it was normal when driven hard.

When my wife drives the S the consumption drops considerably.

And up here they say 1 liter per 1K KM is normal, which is even more than a QT per 1K Miles.
