I have the oil problem too. I bought mine last june and at about 3k mi it was in the shop as it went into limp mode, they replaced cam shaft actuators had the car for a week. I garaged the car with 6k on it for winter had the oil changed when i took it out of storage, have been back to dealer twice and both times I have had 1.25 qts of oil added the car has 7051 miles on it. Im getting a new motor but for the money I spent Im pretty upset.

They are checking my oil every 500 miles. at 200 I am down 1/2 qt. Do you think I am a candidate for new engine too?
