The MOP can't use anywhere near a pint in 30 minutes. During break in, I had the MOP on my 4 port maxed out all the time and it only visibly smoked at idle. (No noticable consumption in 45 minutes of 3000 - 4500 rpm break-in).

The old 6-port engine (199,000 miles) smoked like a chimney above 6,000 rpm (yes, higher revs make the oil pressure higher, which makes the oil seals leak more). The smoke should also let up a little as the engine warms up if it is the oil seals.

edit: You can replace the oil seals ($140.00 at the dealer). You will also need to replace the coolant seals and front cover gasket while you have it apart (about $150.00 for a gasket set).
