Default Consumption, or leak?
Dealer service manager tells me 1qt/1000 miles is "normal". Well I don't buy that load of crap. My personal experience is .5 to 1 qt over 5000 miles, but I may have a very small oil leak somewhere. (Belly tray conceals it). This is acceptable to me for now. Many lose zero oil.
