I keep hearing this over and over again. The thing about it is that i'm not sure i've ever owned a car that i drove hard that did'ne CONSUME some oil, there is a diffrence between CONSUMPTION and BURNING. the SE-R happens to CONSUME oil durring break in period. Most people have little or no evidance of this problem after 5,000 miles. I changed my oil 3 times and i'm not at 5000 yet and i have not been down more than maybe a 1/4 quart. but others have been down a whole quart up to 10,000 which is rare. Just keep an eye on it and know that its not a problem unless your seeing blue smoke on startup (or under load) which means that oil is getting into the cylinders.
