ML 430 burning too much oil

Hello,

My 00 ML 430 burns like a quart every 600 miles. I just had my oil changed in between my services. MB says this is normal on these cars. Is that true?

WOW, sorry to here that. I would suspect it in the new 350 like my SLK but now this motor too! What the hell is going on at MB. Not other motor with this problem. Most some type of common link here. Its just to many engines.
