NEVER!!!!!!!!!  MY WIFE CHECKS THE OIL EVERY TIME SHE USES THE CHIP FRYER[] SHE INFORMS ME THAT WE USE ABOUT 250ml A MONTH , SHE PREFERS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL BECAUSE IT CLEANS OFF HER BODY EASYER AND LEAVES THE PAINTWORK NICE AND  SHINE [:#]

Check mine every week, in a perfect word it should not use any oil so is yours burning oil yogi

[Nudge]

Yep once a week for me too, i've used about half a litre in 8 months, i know its got a little leak down the back somewhere...

PMSL at Hugh. []

Check mine once every few weeks.  Really doesn't burn much at all.

I'd speak to your doctor about this although he'll probably say its an age thing. If its a woman doctor and you find this sort of thing embarrassing to talk to her about get the wife to pick something up at the pharmacy next time she's out shopping lol 

[RA Dunk]

mine dosent use any at all, still check it once a week to be sure or before and after any long drives []

That will probably only need about half a litre of oil to get it back to the top mark

You did check it with the car level and not on your driveway

[darryl_martin]

Careful when topping up, overfilling isn't good. Two set of marks on the dipstick, is it lower set when the engine is cold and higher set when it's hot? Anyone?

WTF is going on

[wedmonds1]

Silly question but since we are on the subject of oil....

[granby]
