My engine burned oil for the first several oil changes. I have 17k on the car now and it Burns an insignificant amount.

Same here very early on. Only have 2600 mi and already virtually no consumption at all.

Oh ok, thanks. Alright, I'm feeling better about this.

So, what happened?

What happened with what?

My '04's torque is uniform throughout the whole band. I don't think that's normal.

regardless of what the car is supposed to tell you, you're supposed to check your oil regularly. And if a car is low on oil, by a quart or whatever, won't do any damage like a bone dry engine would.
