Lots of cars these days have the same problem. Some of this is due to the thin EPA oils used to gain 1/10 of a mpg on tests. What oil are you using and how often do you change it?

The warranty says 0W 20. The mechanic has me going in every 2000 miles. Thank you so much!

I would suggest trying 5W20 synthetic. You may see an improvement in oil consumption. 0 weight is a joke.
