This is the most critical technique for the longevity your engine :

Tolerances are still too tight to NOT burn some oil. Unless of course you drive slow all of the time and not thrash your car at all. You must qualify your statement. When driving this car like it was designed to, then you'll burn some oil for sure.

So I just passed 1250mi since my oil change and I’m happy to report that I have not topped off once. It shows on the oil measurement that it is 90% of max. Hopefully it continues this way and I don’t have to top of for a few thousand miles. Liqui-Moly Molygen 5w-40. Part number 20232.

Hmm. Tell me how this show you 90% because M5f10 oil measurement is four scale. Max, 3/4, 2/4 and 1/4> add oil.

I guess it's 75% then. I don't remember seeing the scale but It's definitely over half way above fill. So if what you say is correct then it is 3/4.

I have a 2016 car that's covered 12,000 miles. I checked the oil and its showing a quarter used in 4,000 miles

The car is driven hard 50% of the time
