I'm on 4K miles with display still showing over 3/4 full . My previous L494 used a little more oil, so by similar mileage I had put in a litre of oil, but this one doesn't seem to use oil at the same rate!

I have done 4,800 miles since I collected mine right at the end of last year and the electronic dipstick shows not a drop of oil used.

My biggest concern is that I have had an electronic dipstick before................... and in one day it went from MAX to a gnats hair above Min without the car leaking a single drop. Either they don't work well or there is incredible histerisis on them, akin to the pitch blend drip experiment! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

My TDv6 was at 3/4 after 10.000 miles with spirited driving. Maybe its because some diesel gets into the oil keeping it topped up (DPF burning cycle can cause that) |
