OIL USE
I have a 2004 X5 3.0 with about 38000 miles on it. The check oil level warning came up on my display. I took it into the dealer and was told that in approximately 9000 miles my X5 burned 3 quarts of oil. I asked the Service advisor and he said that that is normal. My question is. Is it normal?

I never add a drop of oil into mine even after 5k miles. I check the oil level every week. My X is close to 80k

My 01' 4.4 has 100K miles and uses less than 1/2 quart between 10K oil changes.
