Is this normal oil consumption?

I told the tech about this and he added a BG additive.
Hopefully, the oil consumption will decrease and then stablize between the next few oil changes.

My replacement engines consumed oil until around 5-6k. Give it a little more time and keep an eye on the consumption. You should notice it get smaller and smaller with regular driving.
