Any 2011+ owners have problems with Oil Consumption?

Question? Are you doing your own oil changes or are you relying on the stealership to do so? I know three different stealerships that would put 6 quarts in my Juke when it only requires 4 3/4 quarts with change. Just curious if this is all your own determinations or what a dealership may be telling you to get you to buy another car...

My oil must be burning clean because there isn't any black smoke coming out of my exhaust? But yes the stealership is changing my oil due to the fact of following the rules to keep the engine warranty. Otherwise I'd change the oil myself.
