Default 03 uses oil

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with their Neon using oil. Our 03 uses almost a quart between changes so I asked the service guy about it and he said that it was normal. So what do you guys think?

You probably won't get anywhere with a dealer as far as the factory is concered it is not consuming oil until you exceed 1 qt per 1000 miles. Have you tried different weights or brands. Synthetic etc..???

Mine doesn't use too much up. In fact, its usually still right where it was when I put the oil in. I run mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30.

I would complain about it, I have a 98 with 150,000 miles and I barely burn a quart every 3000 miles.
