Default Oil Consumption

I'd like to know if GM engineering has a definitive guideline for "normal" oil consumption for each C7 variation. You can imagine why I'm asking.

Cheers

Did not see anything yet but if like on my C6 consumption was ZERO between two maintenance. An engine properly prepared and respected during the first 2000 miles should not use any. But will probably differ for people going to the track too early or having no much respect for their engine and not running it properly (e.g. the guy doing a burn out the day he is collecting his Z. His choice for sure...)

What does properly prepared and treated mean?
