Most automakers won't even consider it a problem unless you lose 1 quart in 1000-2000 miles or less.

I dunno if it's luck of the draw? My BMW doesn't move one iota between changes. What I plan to do next change, is to fill 2 quarts short, then without starting, check the oil and see if it does not give back OK. I want to make sure the sensor actually works, because I've never seen in anywhere except at max in 9+ years.
My wife's car needs to top off, I'd say 1/4 qt. every guessing 700 miles? 1/2 qt. would put it over (has a dipstick). Do the math, that could be 2 qts. per change. Friend's 2013 Q5, same thing, and Audi "corrected" the issue in '14. Corrected??
Friend's Odyssey needed new piston rings and it was a recall. I do know all car mfgs. will say it's normal (even Porsche), I just wonder why some cars don't consume oil, of the same model/year.....
