my engine burned a quart every 1k miles when it was new, up until about 4k. Now at 8900 miles, it doesn't burn any. I've been using regular 5w30 valvoline for break-in every 2k miles.
I'm going to wait a little longer to change to redline, but these engines just seem to burn oil when new. They just take a long time to seat the rings fully.
I also did not baby my engine, it drove it hard right off the lot. I am a firm believer in fast break-in = strong engine.
