Added half a litre while still in running in period. Since then the oil level has remained at its full mark even at yr 2 when service is needed.

One of the few things that does work.

Mine usually needs a top up of a litre between annual oil changes. Most turbo cars burn oil so it figures more turbos more oil.

Yours sounds about right to me.

Despite me not liking it, the 'orange oil can + bong = add one litre (in next 125 miles)' worked well yesterday and the green bar was 'Full' this morning.
