Anyone know if this is typical for this particular model. That's what my dealer keeps telling me. It has burned oil since I drove it off the lot. At 3000 miles it is normally at least 2 quarts low. Doesnt register on dipstick.

Welcome to the Club Bud! :o) Mine burns about 1.5 - 2 quarts at 3000 also. My friends burns one quart at 3000. My dad's burns 1.5 at 3000 miles. They run strong, so I can't complain.

Why are some of the 8.1 burning oil? Where's is it going?

Check your pcv valve, if it rattles when you shake it then you need to change it to the new style that helps reduce oil consumption.
