Machtig, How is your break in and oil consumption situation?
Given that your engine is probably one of very few that have had synthetic oil from day one. Also no factory mileage on the motor before delivery.

Break in is going great. The car's been at the dealer over the weekend due to a cracked intake hose
I had a 3.5" tear in the intake hose that runs from the MAF to the intake manifold. Was throwing a CEL and a lean condition. The hose, of course, was in NJ and had to be shipped out overnight, but still won't be here until tomorrow morning.
I checked the oil last week before I took it in. I had 1200 miles on the new motor and NO loss of oil. And I've been running it silly. ;-)
