Is it normal for a brand new engine to use a fair bit of oil during run in? Assuming it was full on purchase. I've just hit 1600km and due for service. Checked oil after a ride this arvo and I'm just shy of an inch off the bottom of the dipstick. I definitely haven't babied her. Haven't given it heaps, but kept it above 2500rpm almost always, and mainly sat at 3000+ with a few good squirts up to about 4000+.
Ran mine in the same as yours , used bugger all oil also just finished running stage 4 in didn't use much at all .
as replies have said , tell the dealer get them to document your concerns
