Cool Oil usage

Hi LS,
My '06 started using about a quart in 2,000 miles with about 8,000 miles on the clock. Dealer determined center cylinder rings were not properly seated. Warranty replaced the center cylinder sleeve and new rings on all 3 pistons. Now with 17,000 + miles, she still uses about a quart in 4,000 miles. Based on the grin factor she gives me, that much of an oil addiction is OK by me!

Cheers, Gary
