Thanks for the welcome! I just came back from the dealer, I had the oil changed & they ageed that this level of oil consumption is excessive even for break in. They will now monitor the consumption so when ever oil needs to be added I will bring it in. The service rep said they will do this for the next 5 top ups before they make any kind of descision.
