I'd be grateful for fellow owners views - thanks.
My N55 hardly uses any oil. Last oil service period, as the year before, dropped one display segment (~250ml) after about 6k miles.

I'm now at 42k miles and driving just less than 8k miles a year. Not enough drop to even bother topping up with annual oil changes.
