Burning up to 1 qt of oil per 1,000 miles is within acceptable tolerances.

Even hyper exotics are allowed to burn up to 1 qt per 1,000 miles and the manufacturer is off the hook.

Keep track every 1,000 miles of how much oil you are burning. If it is less than 1 qt/1K miles, there is nothing the dealer will do. (My 2nd 350Z was a notorious oil burner so I have been through this dance before) You will just have to keep adding oil. If it is more than that, then the dealer "should" (doesn't mean they will) do something about it.

(Side note: If you can see white smoke coming out the tailpipes, that is not normal. This should be shown to your dealer right away.)

Sorry.
