Not necessarily - mine was using a quart every 2500 miles, and no smoke from tailpipe; no soot (although soot is usually a too-rich fuel problem, not oil). Engine probably burned the oil very efficiently.

New engine replaced under warranty behaves the exact same, in every way except the oil level NEVER varies between oil changes.
