My oil burning stopped. Got the first oil change at 2700 miles at the dealership with mobil 1. Currently at 3800 and haven't burned a drop. So either it was break in oil burn or the factory stuff.

No.. wait until you put some miles on it.. your car will burn as well.
I burn about 2 quarts now every oil change.. My car has not dropped any oil ever in my garage... Someone else on here said they dont drip ever.. then he came back and said it does now that he hit so many miles. Give it time bro..

Well suckage. I spoke too soon. Burning a half quart every 3000 miles with mobil one. At about 9500 miles.
