Oil level???
How often do you guys add oil? I drove the car for around 150 km since the last oil change and the oil level went down about 3 - 4 mm. The car does not smoke, only once in a while when it's cold outside there is a puff at start up, but it's very rare and only when the car is cold. I don't see any oil spots on the ground under the car. I was in boost only a few times and for short periods of time, most of the time motor was in vac. I wouldn't classify it as aggressive driving, but the oil level still dropped. Is it normal? I've read that the motor will use/burn a specific ammount of oil depending on how you drive the car, but like I said I was in boost only a couple of times and it just seems to me that it's a little too much oil that disappears.

A small amount of oil is injected (oil metering pump) even during sedate driving to lube the rotor seals. More is injected under heavy load.
So, yes, it is normal to use some oil, even during gentle use.
