Check your tailpipes people. Turbo powered cars blow the oil through the exhaust.

94K here and no oil loss. The "black" in the tailpipe is carbon soot from combustion, not oil - at least is the case on mine.

Yup, that's "Direct Injection" soot, as DI engines become the norm rather than the exception....you'll see more sooty keisters on the road.
