It's high by any historical standards for Mercedes. They are trained to say everything is normal.
Damn...They are on to us.

The SPEC from Germany on the M112 V-6 and M113 V-8 is .8 liters per 1000km.
Yes previous MB engines use no oil, but the Modular motors can and some do burn oil.
It depends mostly on how the engine was broken in. Sticking
rings can be a small issue, but those cars usually burn 1l in 500km.

I wouldn't give 1qt in 2500mi the slightest worry.

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
