yes it is true that they burn oil. its part of their natural design. it helps to lubricate the seals. its really not all that bad, all you have to do is check out the oil level about every other fill up. if its low then top it off a little. no biggie.

the oil itself is injected through an oil metering pump attached to the engine. It is not caused by a leak of any sort.

Your car is fine. Just keep checking it. Eventually you will see that you have to add some oil.
