How much oil does the E55 V8 consume in between oil changes?

How much oil do you usually add in between oil changes? Just curious into the oil consumption on these E55s. I guess part of it will depend on city or highway driving.

Thanks!

To be perfectly honest...ZERO.

in 15,000 kms (9300mi) (thats the service a interval here in germany) the oil level in my e50 dropped an un-noticeable amount and looked just as clear as the day it was put in. If your using oil between changes you have problems. Is the oil black on the dipstick?

Actually, I don't have a problem yet. But is due for an oil change soon. So just wanted to see what I should expect. Thanks.

I call BS.

If your oil is as clean on the way out as it is on the way out, something is wrong.

Oil is supposed to get dirty.

i agree.... maybe your oil does not have the cleaning properties it should.
