That is very little oil lost between changes, and my own inclination would be to not consider that as a problem. My own '02 Aero uses about a quart every 2K when driven fast. However, many on this board become upset at any oil usage at all and most report good results from upgrading viscosity from Mobil 1 0W-40. In my own case I went to Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-40 (it is rated slightly higher viscosity in Mobil specs) and usage dropped by about 40%. This summer I intend to switch to a good 5W-50 synthetic or similar when I travel on California deserts. These motors do run at a high temperature. But again, your own usage of 1/2 qt. per 5K is nothing.
