V10 using oil

I have a 2010 29' V10 with 10,000 miles on it. It seemed to be using oil, so I took it to the dealer. At the last oil change, I mentioned this to them. He put a mark on the dip stick and told me to come back after about 500 miles. I did, and there did not appear to be any usage. Now, after 3,000 miles, I have used 3/4 of a quart of oil. During the last 30 years of driving autos, I have never had to add oil between changes. Is this normal for the V10 to use oil?
