How was the car used? I suspect heaps of stop-start driving in peak hour traffic increase oil consumption. I had similar problem with my Euro and told my dealer. On the dip stick, it dropped about half way from 'Max' a while back, but that has not happened since because I don't use that car for commuting anymore. Also, we are now monitoring the oil consumption.

I don't think the dip stick level correspond to the actual amount of oil in the sump. Though I did not measure it, around 500ml of oil raise the level back to the 'Max'.

Is this the experience of others on this forum?
