Oil Consumption 2008 3 litre V6 engine type 642

[lunatic]

Our 2008 JC is a 3 litre V6 turbo with 120,000 kms on the odometer.

It looks to me that we are using about 1 litre of oil per 5,000 kms.

Does this seem excessive or normal? I see that the Mercedes manual states it may even be as high as 1 litre per 1,000 kms!!

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Ian

Good morning!
We rarely need to fill any additional oil between the annual (or slightly more) oil changes.

Hi Stefan. So how many kms would that be for you in the year? Thanks,

Ian

5-10k...

OK, thanks.

If anyone else would like to let me know their approximate oil consumption, that would be great!

Just checking to see if mine is out of line.
