Mine doesn't seem to burn any ... 8 quarts go in, about that much comes out ... don't need to add any between 3k oil changes. It does leak a little, but apparantly not enough to affect the oil level in a 3,000-mile span. I use 15w-40 Rotella and the MB filter from the dealership.

My car never ceases to amaze me.
