Just my personal opinion, and I know it has been said by more than just me.... but people need to relax about this issue. Oil usage is very normal in the early life of any engine. Let the miles add up a bit and then see what is going on. Have your oil tested. If there's anything abnormal happening, the analysis will show it. I had mine analyzed at 9500 kms. Except for a high concentration of dirt (and that's a K&N issue), my engine showed exceptional results.

Please don't flame too hard. As I mentioned above, I'm not the only one who's saying... RELAX!!
Sage advice!! +1 rep!
