Hmm.... doesn't sound too excessive. I was down 1.5 quarts after 1000 miles. Normal to me. Just kept an eye on it and topped up as needed. These rings are really hard and take quite some time to seat. Therefore.... oil usage. I now have almost 8000 miles and it has slowed in consumption, but not stopped.
My personal belief is that it will continue to use oil up to and beyond 10000 miles.
(Maybe a dealer looking to make some money on warranty work that may not be needed?)
