If you bought the car new then that is likely why you have an oil consumption problem.
Switching to synthetic oil that quickly did not let the rings seat properly and therefore you are getting excessive blow-by (loss of performance, mileage, longevity and high oil consumption)
The manual even states waiting for 4500-6000 miles before changing to synthetic.
I don't know. With so many cars coming from the factory with a synthetic factory fill...I'm not sure I believe that anymore.
BTW...your owner's manual said to wait 4500-6000 miles?
Mine (from '98) didn't mention any specific interval for a switch to synthetic.
