I understand your frustration but unfortunately can't condone your reluctance to search and/or read the posts to try to find the anwers to your problem. You may not realize it but forums are pretty much support groups that allow people to help other people by posting their problems or concerns.

You bought a car that some but not all dealers are trying to excuse oil consumption by referring to the engine as a "severe duty" engine with several different break-in periods. Since very few people are having the problem it won't get elevated because it doesn't hve enough impact. To you an all others with unacceptable oil consumption I highly suggest filing a report on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration website.

www.nhtsa.gov

This website has been used for years by disatisfied owners and owners with safety concerns to report problems such as this. After enough people complain (minimum number is unknown) NHTSA has been known to force recalls and/or TSBs. This is how the elevation begins.
