drained factory fill at 1700 miles. By then i had burned about half a quart. It's been 1200 miles since the oil change and i have not burned a single drop. I mean down to the millimeter the oil level is exactly where i filled it to during the oil change. Life is good.

first oil change, burned about a qt of oil at 3k. next oil change, about 1/4 quart. i check it today at 2k past that, and its a full qt low again.

i was ready to think i was overreacting, but 1 qt every 2k miles IS excessive. ive owned a total of 5 new vehicles, including ones that i doubled the stock hp of, and none of those ever needed a drop of oil between changes...
