How many miles has the car done since you last put some oil in?
My diesel Passat does not use any oil between services, my new Golf diesel has used half a litre in 4500 miles.
A friend of my wife has a A4 diesel, I check the oil for her and it seems to use a vast amount. I must have put in at least 8 litres over 30000 miles. My son had a M class diesel which also used alot of Mobil 1, quite often I put 2 litres in. He's hopeless at maintenance, he used to be a mechanic!
It seems that some cars do use alot and some don't, I do not think it makes much difference which make it is.

There's a rumour going round that lowlife are stealing oil out of car sumps because of the high price of crude oil.

About 6 - 7k at a guess.

So you know it uses oil, yet you still don't do anything about it until told it needs some? OK it's not your car, but surely a couple of minutes to check it every couple of weeks is better than having to find 507 oil while out and about? At the very least have a litre bottle in the car!

My Partners 2005 Sharan Tdi used a litre before its first longlife service, (at 20K) and second service was reached (at 40K) with no top up, but friends experiences appear to vary a lot

And you're so perfect that you check the oil level on your own car religiously right?
