The tech told me that most likely I am looking at a new engine. Anyone else have this issue?

The dealership will tell you that it's normal to have to add up to 1 litre of oil if your dipstick is calling for it. While I don't agree with this statement it is what it is. I would get a compression test done by the dealership first. Get a fresh oil change and monitor your dipstick every 500 km's (310 miles). This will be the only way to determine how much oil it is burning.
