New motor, break in, YES. Keep checking it when you fill up, save yourself the headaches down the road!

Make sure its not leaking anywhere though; I've read a few posts about some leaking from some mivec component. Poke your head around with a flashlight to see if the block has any dried oil/gunk around the bottom or back side too. Other than that, mine ate a little bit of oil up until ~2000 miles then it slowed down. It barely eats any now from what I can tell. Every engine will eat oil, but if its new and past the break-in, it shouldn't be that noticeable on the dipstick I would imagine....

I agree, check it often and have the dealer give it a peak.
