Volvo Replacing Engines

Well, after about 3 years of watching my new D4's burn inordinate amounts of oil Volvo has advised me that they will replace both of my long blocks under warranty.

The engines have nearly 400 hours on them and are burning oil at a rate of approximately .8% and .6%, port to starboard, respectively, and it seems to be getting worse. Volvo told me that .14%, oil burn to fuel, is normal so this consumption is way outside of that.

Yes, I've taken a lot of photos and intend on being there when the surgery takes place. Any further suggestions from you will be appreciated.
