I checked mine when it was brand new and it was full to the top of the dipstick - but I fully expect it to use a bit of oil whilst running in - maybe a litre -before settling down to use none between services. This is the way it's gone with all of my cars ....

Coming up for 17,000 miles now and hey presto - the low oil warning light came back on today.

So I seem to be getting 8000-ish miles for a litre of oil?  Strange thing is earlier this week I remembered that I have done double the number of miles when I needed oil before so checked the levels.  On Tuesday morning the oil was registering at halfway along the dipstick  :sad:

Will be interesting to see what the level is at when I check it now.
