first 1000 miles, already burned a quart of oil?
hey yall, had my 22 g63 for just a month or so now. I picked it up from a dealer that was 200 miles away so the first 50 miles ish on it was probably city driven, and then after that even tho not recommended (some say constant speed highway driving bad for break in) was sadly highway driven home.
i went on another road trip with it once again and the past 200-300 miles on it had been mostly city and i started going harder on it.
im at about 1000 miles on the clock and i believe now it should be broken in, but today i got a message about "low oil add 1 qt"
i waited a few hrs before adding any oil since it was only 1qt low ( out of a 9qt sump or whatever) just incase the sensor was buggy, and then added in half a quart and now am between min and maximum
i never checked the oil when i first got it, so maybe it was low from factory but i bet it is more likely that it burned qt
however this has never happened to me on a brand new vehicle, anyone else have this with an engine like this? or could this be a consequence of a ****ty break in due to the highway driving? if so, any way to resurrect my engine?
thx

Totally normal for new engine especially amg engine. In fact I think the manual even tells you to expect this
"New engines WILL burn oil. This is simply because the rings haven't seated yet. You can expect a new engine to burn about a quart of oil the first couple of week or so of running, but that will taper-off from there."
