My 2009 has about 32,000 miles on it. I bought it new. It was consuming about 1.5 to 1.75 quarts between 5000 mile oil changes. While I didn't think that was excessive, I didn't like it. I just figured I would live with it and kept close eye in the level, topping up with 1/4 quart whenever it dropped that much.
Oddly enough, it has consumed zero oil since the last change at 30,000 miles. I have been running Redline 05W-30 since the 5,000 mile mark. Maybe the engine just needed to fully break in and settle down. I still check it often, but am keeping my fingers crossed that the consumption issue solved itself.
