Its when you use half a dipstick every 200 miles like mine did, that you need to worry

Keep ontop of consumption & change the grade of oil if neccesarySame here... mine uses about a 1litre of top up per service(8000miles)... Not like the BMW's ive had which is more like a 1litre every1-2k miles...

Could be related to oil used? Journey type? Driving styles?I know mine uses significantly more oil when i have ignored the fuel bill.
