Pretty sure that the 10k oil change recommendation is for driving the car average person normal. I drive the car aggressively. I changed out the oil at the dealer around 700 miles. At 6500 now and a quart low. She runs for sure but the B58TU will burn some oil.

Do you think the burning of the oil is attributed to driving aggressively?

Im at 1500 miles and was thinking of changing it out myself at 5-6k and have the dealer do it for free at 10k.

The thing is I floor it once in a while and thats it, so maybe based on my driving I should just wait till 10k?

If oil in the sump is 0W20 LL17FE it might just evaporate. Oils have evaporation loss or so called Noack. 0W20 oils are really not good in that discipline.
IMO, after warranty move to LL04 oils. Those oils, especially if they are also approved for MB229.51/52, have lower Noack, and with that loss.
