Is this normal oil consumption?

Keep an eye on it. Check every thousand miles and record the measurements exactly. Build a record of the issue.

Demand to see the oil level before the engine is sealed if you do a consumption test. Look at the oil with the tech when it is unsealed and measured. Crosscheck that with the TSB.

I had a dealer purposely overfill my oil to the point where oil would spurt out of the dipstick and all over the block causing smoke whenever the oil pressure would peak just because they didn't want to replace the block.

It took me going to another dealer to get it addressed. If a dealer is giving you problems, go to another one or get NNA involved.
