help me here guys !!!!
Extra oil consumption during the break-in period is not unusual at all. Just re-fill to the 1/2 to 3/4 mark and keep an oil on it from now on. You should see a sharp decline in oil consumption from here. If it continues after 1200 miles or so then it is time to take it to the dealer.
