Be sure to check the oil at operating temperature before adding oil. When you have verified the oil is at the full mark, again when X is at operating temperature. Then track the mileage and check oil at each 1000mi. mark to verify how many miles it takes to burn a quart. I have not had a 3.0 but I don't consider a quart per 3,000mi. as normal.

Were you using a qt. per 3,000mi. prior to the oil change?
