    I think I have done a similar quantity but 14,000 miles. Time for the dealer to check?

    1 liter in about 14,000 km (8,000 miles or so). It could be that the dealer added another dealer without telling me.

    I understand that there are large variations between cars, but I do feel kind of blessed.

    Just checked mine for the first time at about 2200 km. The oil level is about 1/4 inch into the "do not fill" area.
