A reciprocating engine, for the most part shouldn't burn oil (or any meaningful/measureable amount - not with the tolerances we have today...

Kannibul,
I was just putting things into perspective regarding oil consumption... On track days with my previous Rx8, i would easily burn 1 quart of oil per 40-50miles (which is normal for a rotary engine).
Now my breaking-in period is almost completed (1500km), so we will see the numbers. So far, no oil level changes...
