I believe what Plutoe is saying so eloquently is change out your O2 sensor before it takes out your catalytic converter, the O2 sensor helps set the lean/rich fuel mixture to your ECU.

Ok cool, I figured that part. But I could decipher the "all of the above" part.. I mean, does the O2 sensor affect oil consumption.
I think I am going to change, I mean the fuel consumption should pay for it anyway

I don't know if an O2 sensor could lean out the cylinder bank enough to create a high heat condition and with a zero weight oil could cause oil to get past the rings for burning, but I suppose that scenario could be possible. My older Benz's with high mileage do burn about a quart over 5-7k miles of high-speed freeway driving, but my 212's are low mileage and don't seem to burn oil at all {yet}

Ah right.. well my E350 CGI burns about 1/1.5 quart per 700 miles :O
And sitting in traffic or low speed driving for too long results in a lot of knock and white smoke leading to misfire -- when you floor it. I'm working on the theory that this valve stem seals though and I will be replacing them soon.
