DIY Oil Consumption MCS

Mysterious oil consumption.

Can anyone tell me how much oil a MCS should be using? Mine seems to like a drink every 3-4months. Using Castrol Edge and doing average mileage at average speeds seems to turn out quite expensive at nearly £14.00 a go.

Any suggestions or is this normal?

Thanks

I have to top mine up every now and then... My service indicator states 8000 miles before next service and I still needed to add half a litre of oil...

Mine goes 6-7,000 miles between oil changes without using any oil at all

I took my Mini to my local garage few mths ago. They are v good and somtimes don't even charge for small jobs!. I asked them about my oil consumption as i thought i could be consuming too much (about a quart every cpl mths). They said that they thought that was pretty good and they look after cars like M3's and 350z's!
