I changed my oil at 3700 miles (first change) I poured the oil into my 5qt jug and it was at about 4.8 quarts. I do not baby the car either and it's an auto.
I am curious as to whether or not the people who have the consumption issue checked the car from day 1 to make sure the level was full to begin with. From some of the reports, it seems that some cars could have been shipped with the levels not filled to spec. Of course, the dealer should have checked the levels but you never know!

Again, for those with or think that they have an issue, make sure you do not overfill, you will end up causing far more damage than having it a bit low. A safe measure is that your oil is right around the mid point of L and H. Hope this helps!
