Oil consumption
Hadn't checked the oil level in ages and today with 7500kms (~4600mi) on the odo the gauge reads down one bar from the original factory fill's normal.... 1/2 litre later it's back to normal.
Curious what others are finding now that mileage is starting to rack up on their cars.

I’ve got 2 of the five indicator squares lit up green after 6400 miles. I don’t remember if the factory fill was green at all the squares.
Will be using Redline at the first yearly change in December.

Note: I didn't need to add oil, it was only down 1 bar from full but was heading on a 2k km road trip so though I'd top up! After adding JUST 500 ml of oil, the car tells me I was "over full"..... Grrrr!!

Right. Each bar is about 340 ml. Should only add about 200 ml at a time between drive cycles until you have it where you want it.

My car is at ~7400 and I'm down two blocks from the full line. It was at the full line at four green blocks on delivery.
