I just ran the numbers and I've put in 1.5-2 quarts in 1400 miles. Ugh. Somethings wrong.

AOS is new (1400 miles ago). I've read about new ones can have problems. I'll measure my crank pressure tomorrow through the oil fill.

That is a lot of oil use and will create other problems down the road with dirty injectors and clogged cat's.

I would suggest cylinder compression and leak down tests.
