Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET HD2500 WITH A 8100 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ENGINE WILL USE 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL TO BE USED IN A NEW VEHICLE. HAS CHEVROLET DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS MISTAKE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM?
