Haven't used a drop in 11k miles. Always full on display and verified w/ dipstick.

About 1/4 qt.every 5K miles over the most recent 10K. I've got 31K on it now. My Q has been the most trouble free car I've ever owned through the first 30,000 miles.

15K miles and just changed it for the 3rd time this past weekend.

No additions at all since we bought it 2 years ago; reads full on display and with the dipstick.

Ditto. Ours hasn't used a drop either.

Never had to add a drop yet. I think it's mostly a 2.0 problem. In my opinion that engine should not be used in such a heavy car.

awryexperiment

No. Ours does not use any oil (per the dipstick).

Really quite a reliable car, no problems at all!

Wife's 2011 with ~9k on the odometer appears to be down under 1/2 quart since the 5k oil change using dealer installed Syntec 5W-40, according to the dipstick. It's been that way for a couple of months and hasn't budged.

Even at 140,000Km my oil does not seem to budge between oil changes

I do my oil changes every 15000km as indicated and normally after 10000km I have to add 1 liter as the low level warning appears.
