The engine shouldn't consume a quart of oil every 5000 miles let alone every 1000 miles. IF your engine is using this much oil then the rings are stuck to the pistons from the oil change frequency that you were running with reqular(dino) engine oil. MB knows this & THAT is the reason that you received the letter about synthetic oils. DON'T let them off(the hook) as you will have a $$$ repair bill after the truck is out of warranty. IF your dealer won't address this problem, then ask for a meeting with factory service rep.
