[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16031834, member: 159453"] Do you idle it to warm it up? There are some different theories on these engines, one being that idling them to warm them up consumes more oil because it takes so long for the pistons to expand. Once I get head temp to 100 degrees I set off and keep the RPMs under 2500 to warm up the engine faster. With that said, mine also consumes a bit of oil, but not as much as yours. After 3k miles I would be down a quart. For the loud brakes, this is a pretty cheap solution, these cars come with aggressive pads which drastically increases brake noise and dust.
