Garage
Assuming the shop knew how to fill the oil properly (as you do, good work!) then 3 quarts in 500 miles seems like a lot. My 1979 SC burns/drips a quart every 1K, which isn't enough that I worry. I just put a piece of cardboard under it in the garage and keep an eye on the gauge - but check it with the dip stick and not just the gauge.

Does it smoke under deceleration? At startup? Also, your pictures aren't showing up for me unless I follow the link. Try using the Advanced post button and upload from there, then it will be hosted here at Pelican. Looks like a Pleco!
