G63 burn engine oil?
Hey guys it’s me seeking advise/thoughts/opinion again.
So my 2021 G63 has done about 7500km and a few days ago there was a dashboard message asking me to refill 1L of engine oil. Got it done at my dealer and also had a chat with them who advise it’s very normal for AMGs/G63s, just checking to see if this is the case on yours too?
Thanks as always.

IMO, it's a matter of how you've driven it. If you drove conservatively for the first 1K (break-in), and haven't been driving aggressively since (sport+, manual shifting, high RPMs) I think losing a liter of oil would be unusual. As I posted in a recent thread, I regard the oil monitoring system completely unreliable. I change my oil twice as often as spec'd (every 5K miles rather than 10K miles) and I measure the waste oil as a way to asess oil consumption (for me neglible at 1K, 5K and 10K miles). The oil monitoring system is setup to measure oil level during engine operation rather than prior to starting the engine, and MB engineers want us to believe this is more accurate. I think it's intended to make you rely on the dealer as the only way to be sure the oil level is correct.

Thanks for this. Yes break-in was conservative, and after that I do go into S+ pretty often as well as play around by turning the “louder” mode on in comfort almost everyday, also I use the car as daily drive and traffic jams is almost a daily norm. So all of that combined I guess the answer is normal for 1L of engine oil so far for almost 8000kms?

I wonder how would the overfill occur? Do you mean when the dealer go by oil monitor they will overfill engine oil? And if so how can I tell as I don’t think there is a “manual” stick like most Japanese cars? Although I had never tried to look in the engine bay for the engine oil stick…

BTW, all the Euro cars have adopted this dipstickless technology and every Euro car owner complains about.

i have the same issue, i usually change oil at 6000, if i let it go to 6500 i get an add quart signal, use mobil 1, drive conservatively, I think the manual recommends 9000 mile oil changes I don’t know how that’s possible without having to add at least 1 to 2 quarts between oil changes, i do the oil changes myself and fill to high mark on dipstick, been an issue since ive owned it, bought with 25k from my partner, have 50k on it now
