I heard that gen 6s are notorious for burning through oil when I got my last one. Is there anything that can be done to improve my oil consumption?
I do about 70 miles a day motorway driving, and the last thing I want is low oil pressure because I forgot to check it this morning. Cheers |

Yep, mine doesnt leak a drop yet the oil just disappears even though there's no smoke. Others have suggested that amount of oil consumption is actually within spec, just because the dealers didn't want to cover that under a warranty.
