It shouldn't, but it does.

My engine right now is eating a bit over a quart of oil every thousand miles. Found that out after 3k miles when I started getting valvetrain noise and the oil temp didn't want to budge from the bottom of the gauge.

Ended up having about 1.5 quarts left. Pretty sweet.

Got under the car- no leaks. Definitely eating oil. My '06 350 did the same thing.

Well, whatever, to the dealership she goes.
