I always check my oil when the car is cold, on level ground, or if it hasn't been driven for several hours at least.

Does the VQ37 burn oil, consume oil or what? Does this thing think it's a Wankel?
Is this your first car? Engines burn oil. Some more than others. You're burning it at a rate of a quart every 9000 miles. Hardly an issue. When it gets to a quart every 1000 miles go see your dealer (but most manufacturers consider a Qt per 1K completely acceptable)
