All I had at that moment was Mobil 1. I ended up going to the dealership and they added oil for me. Thanks everyone for the help.

Even with careful break-in, some cars just burn a little more oil than others. A lot of this might be down to manufacturing variances. Some engines 'bed down' perfectly as the metal parts wear into place but not all do. A careful break-in increases the chances that your engine will never burn a drop of oil but it is not a guarantee either.
