New owner and just starting to get familiar with 2020 S560 4MATIC. I was reading the operators guide and I was a little shocked at the note that said something like, depending on driving habits, oil usage can be up to 0.9 quarts every 600 miles. I have heard about such usage in Audi cars but was a bit surprised with that usage on a S560. So if I drive 15,000 miles a year, I might use over 2 quarts a month.

I have had Lincolns, KIAs, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Maserati and a Ford truck and I never had to add oil between standard services in the last 20 years or so.

Is the two quarts a month realistic or is that for someone running the engine just about flat out all the time? I get a little uncomfortable with that type of potential oil use on a car that does not seem to have a dipstick, relying on a sensor. Please comment on your experience during "normal" driving.

My S560 never used any oil, even with a leaking valve cover.

Oil changes on my ‘18 S560 at recommended intervals.
Never have had an “Add oil msg.”
