370Z oil consumption

my engine burned a quart every 1k miles when it was new, up until about 4k. Now at 8900 miles, it doesn't burn any. I've been using regular 5w30 valvoline

Now at 8900 miles, it doesn't burn any. I've been using regular 5w30 valvoline for break-in every 2k miles. I'm going to wait a little longer to change to redline, but these engines just seem to burn oil when new. They just take a long time to seat the rings fully. I also did not baby my engine, it drove it hard right off the lot. I am a firm believer in fast break-in = strong engine.
