Unless you've got a lot of carbon build-up and deposits in your engine.

That's what I'm thinking too...

Thanks everyone for the input!

If the motor is burning oil, there's not much you can do other than monitor it and make sure it doesn't get low.

Do you know which pulley it was?

So there are all sorts of possibilities of what it could be. Since the car is still under full factory warranty, I will bring it in for them to look at it. Will let you all know tomorrow about the oil level.

Thanks everyone for your input!

If there is silicone deposits in the heater core then you will hear a ticking sound coming from the dash. There is a TSB on it. I don't have that issue.

I submitted the videos to the Service Department on Friday and have yet to hear back (not surprised). I will make an appointment to drop the car off or just wait for the next oil change.

Wanted to provide an update. Car has been dropped off at the dealer to have faulty TPM sensors replaced while the car is still under warranty. They will give a listen to the car as well. I will post up what they find. My money is on "It's Normal".
