High Oil Consumption - 2011 BlueTec
Bought a 2011 ML350 BlueTec with 88,700 kms or 55,000 miles. Clean PPI. Reconditioning included oil change.
After 3000 kms or 1900 miles I have added 2 liters of oil. Mostly highway driving.
Adding 1 liter of oil every 1000 miles normal?

Is there a "VIN" archive for which I may access service records to reveal a special vehicle related issue?
Aren't all 2011 ML350 BlueTecs the same? Isn't BlueTec just a BlueTec?

Correction:
Mileage is close to 5000 kms or 3500 miles and oil added to date it 2.5 litres.
Still seems high oil consumption to me.
No oil cooler leaks found. No leaks whatsoever found.
95% of these 5000kms/3500 miles has been highway driving @ 80 mph.
