Well I checked the oil and after 3000 Km it needed more. So I don't think there was a "fix". Interesting to see the "vacume" theory. In my case I doubt that happens very often.

How much more is the question. OP was using 6qt every 2900 miles. That is the very definition of excessive. 1- 1.5qt every 3000 miles would not bother me in the least.
