Thanks for the quick response John. I have not yet noticed ANY oil consumption. We changed the oil the at the beginning of the week when the engine had about 300 km on it and then the next day I took my Vo on a ~350 km (one way) road trip that was almost all hwy driving at between 90-140 kph (55-90 mph). I turned off OD once in a while while passing during the trip so that the engine would rev to around 4-5K RPM. Then we spent a couple days driving it on short little trips around a small village and then this afternoon we drove back home at the same speeds as before. It has not yet seemed to use any noticeable amount of oil (I'll check it again tomorrow morning).........
