burning too much engine oil

What year s2000? Also have you checked your spark plugs? Are they covered in oil? Is there oil in the spark plug tube? If so you probably aren't burning oil, spark plug seals that are leaky can mimic oil consumption

I've run Amsoil ATM 10W30 since the motor has been broken in. The overall average consumption is less than 0.2 US QT per 3,000 miles. My car hasn't burned a drop in recent history - stayed right at the top X for over 3,000 miles on the last oil change.
