Just put my first liter in today. This is 3,000 miles after 1200 break in. I am quite surprised at the disparity in oil usage. Obviously very driver dependent. I drive like the old guy that I am.

Good news, I checked my Oil at the dealers after 1200 mile service and the level was about an 1/8" below full !!, not sure why.

Used none since and 1925 miles covered.

Not even close (I hope) to needing "earl" in mine yet...only a few hundred miles so far. If I do get low at some point before the 1200 service - what should I keep in my trunk - 0W-30 or 5W-30? Or depends on the weather at the time?

0-30 all the way, weather has nothing to do with it.
