Oil Consumption
Anyone have thoughts on what normal oil consumption should be? After 3800 miles I got the "check oil at next fillup" light and was one quart low. The dealer added one and after another 1500 of highway driving I was at the lower end of the dipstick. I've seen posts on other forums, but not anything on the engine in the 450. Thanks

I am at 4k miles and no issues with anything at this point. I am starting to open her up on the highway (I hit 110mph on the freeway) and am starting to push the engine from 0-60...pretty impressive considering how heavy this truck is.

3100 miles here and I guess it's time to check my oil for the first time. I don't normally check the oil on any of my cars.
In fact, I thought the trend in newer cars was that they monitored their own oil levels. My 997S has an electronic oil gauge and no dipstick. It has however burned 1 quart of Mobil1 in the 4000 miles that I've put on it, which is normal for that car. My 745Li doesn't have a dipstick or oil gauge so I couldn't tell you how much it does or does not burn. Let me correct myself, they don't have dipsticks as long as you don't count the one behind the wheel.
