Just want to find out if guys have experienced the same thing?

Not at all. A quart loss in 3500 miles will be 'normal' to the dealer but we have yet to see a Fit with oil consumption problems.Check for leaks and for blue smoke out exhaust, particularly on coast down under closed throttlebut not idle rpm.. The latter is indicative of unsealed or damaged rings.Has the level been going sdown steadily or all at once ? Check with dealer and perhaps change oil anyway to see if it was the oil being too thin. Change filter too.
