    Get a dipstick. The electric gauge is funky and inconsistent sometimes

    Nothing that's normal, 1/8 of a quart is nothing to be concerned with, the tech could have slightly under filled it.

    If you mmi was empty or even 1/2 in 400 mile then I would be worried.

    One day mine reads full... The next day it reads 7/8 full and then back to full again. Get a dip stick for accurate measures.

    Damn, I've got mine which is manufactured 09/2015, drove like 3k km and it's already showing half. Went to the dealer and they're saying it's normal and can't do anything about it because it isn't exceeding 0.5l for 1k which is indicated in the owner's manual. Diagnostics doesn't show any faults in the system as well. From all the threads I've read it shouldn't be normal for gen3..

    were you on a hill when you checked that? minor oil consumption is normal, it says so in the manual. anyone read it? don't be worried about it until its telling you to add a quart in an unreasonable amount of time.

    Wouldn't be concerned man. Just keep an eye on it and see what the gauge does the next few hundred miles...
