I have a 1.8 and it has used 1L in the first 8000 miles, I check it every month now and the consumption seems quite consistent, 1/4L evey 2000 miles.
Not very impressed I dont rev over 5500 very often, my old toyota never used a drop of oil between services for 65000 miles.

As someone mentioned the stupid manual says up to a litre every 650 miles, no new engine should use oil like that, even a diesel unless you use it on a track.

You would have to top up the oil every time you filled the petrol up.

But because of the manual the dealer wont even look to see if there is a problem
