M157

Anybody with an m157 having an oil issue. Mine has 60k, downpipes, intake spacers, ec stage 2 tune. Did oil change 3 weeks ago. Put maybe 500-600 HARD (me and the car lol) driven miles after getting it back from downpipe fabrication and already getting notification of 1 qt low.

My suspicion is the tech did not fill your oil to the correct level. I change mine every 5k and when properly filled use perhaps 1/3 quart at the next 5k mark. Mine is stock however (about 35k miles now)

Hard driving will consume some oil in those engines. Fill it to the correct level and monitor it under normal driving, if it's dropping too much, the only real option is ring sealing issues, unless it's leaking. I'd wager if you back down on the hard driving it will stop. According to the bulletins about oil consumption, that's allowable particularly on the turbo engines or the highly tuned AMG cars.
