Interesting read. I think it's ridiculous that high end cars like BMW and Audi think that this is normal, and that you should top off burned oil on every tankful.

I had a 2014 WRX that I purchased brand new. Followed the recommended break in process. It was burning about 0.5quart of oil every 3500 miles. The dealer said that was normal. I told them I never had a car that eats oil even when they are older let alone a brand new car. I eventually sold it and purchased a 2014 370z. I wished I had test drove the Z first.

my STI is new and it burned about 1/4 quart so far. its written in the manual to check and add oil.
my Z and G were the same way until about 15000 miles and it stopped burning oil since. |
