I've been keeping a keen eye on my CSL's oil consumption and over the last 7000 miles it's been in the region of 0.3 - 0.4 litre for every 1000 miles, depending of ambient temperatures and how hard it's been driven (i.e. commuting or mostly TD work) no prices for guessing my intended usage 
I'd be VERY interested to see & read the official BMW bulletin, advising increased Oil change solutions.
Thank you please  |
Matt, mine doesn't consume
any oil (now you will tell me you change it very quickly).
I do change the oil so frequently on my own and I am amazed about how thick the oil is only after 5000 km.
I can't imagine how the oil looks like after 20000 km (even though you would have added another 2 lt in the meantime).
I am sure that the oil consumption is related to the oil getting fecked up.
That's not good for this engine with F1-like piston speed.
BMW bulletin solutions later on
Thank you please
PS1 : Dan, change the oil oftenly, no matter what they tell you in the dealership
PS2 : it would be interesting to have stats from members with oil consumption and gas emissions, I am pretty sure the oil-thirsty cars will have more emissions
