It's pretty common to add 1-2 qts of oil between service visits. All four of my AMG's as well as my BMW M's drank oil. Pretty standard with high performance engines.

Owner's Manual online (page 388) states 0W-40 or 5W-40 for E63. Considering you are in San Jose I think you'd be ok with 5W-40 since temperatures don't drop that low in the winter.
