    Makes sense. But you'd think the engineers would have noticed that and worked out a way to mimic that, rather than simply moving the shift points. There must be a good reason why they programmed...

    Yes, thanks. I think the oil consumption improving was pretty well established, especially in low mileage cars.

    If you too are still having problems with oil consumption, read this.

    At 75000 km, I decided to try an experiment and drive only in manual mode.
