We were careful breaking in our '21 CVO per the manual, at the 1,000 mile fluid change the oil was down almost a quart, no metal on the plug or filter. We now have 3,300 miles on and have had to add 2 1/2 quarts to keep it at the proper level. We have also made sure our dealer is aware and they have documented the usage and mileage on paper. Since the last top off 2 weeks ago, we've put on about 400 miles and need another 1/2 quart.
There are no drips of oil when it is parked and we've had different folks follow us and report they don't see any smoke or smell anything at all, it's perplexing. I've had my fingers up in the exhaust and it's dry, just some dark gray/black as expected. We have an appointment next week to take it in for a few days and see if they find anything, service bulletins, etc.
