My '09 has just shy of 9000 miles on it. Broke it in easy, first oil change at 1250 miles with Ester Oil, next change was at 5K miles with Redline 5W-30. It's been burning some oil, for the first 5K miles probably burned 1.5 quarts and has burned about 1.25 quarts since the last change. I check the level weekly which is about every 300 miles and it finally seems to be settling down. My previous car was an '04 G35 and it drank about 3/4 quart between changes which were every 3K miles using Castrol GTX or Pennzoil dino. So I think the guys who have VQ engines that use no oil are the exceptions. I could live with a quart every 5K miles and hoping that as the engine is more fully broken in that will be the average.
