During the first few thousand miles, it is not unusual to have some oil useage. I would gues that the majority of the folks on this board experienced the same thing; I know I did. It's normal.

I was burning oil after 6k mi because the engine wasn't broken in when I changed to synthetic oil.

While some say it's normal, seems a lot, doesn't it?
