It's not unusual for a high compression engine to eat a quart between oil changes. Obviously, though, a quart every thousand miles is extremely excessive.

Mine is eating about the same- one quart per thousand miles.

Regardless of the TSB, engine oil consumption falls within the 5yr/60k mile warranty. They will do a consumption test (seal the dipstick, mark the oil fill cap, drain plug and filter) and replace the short block if it fails.

I had to deal with the same thing on my '06 350. Good times.

I'll be taking my car in this month sometime to get the test started.
