G started to burn oil :(

I have a 2011 Sedan with 138000km and its started to burn some oil. I added about 400ml of oil to get it over a dot. I've burnt roughly 400ml of oil in about 5000KM. Is that a big amount or is it relatively okay for this motor?

Yeah try pennzoil. I used Mobil 1 for about a year and would constantly have to add oil because it would get burnt. But recently started using pennzoil and it never burns. I’m at 113k miles.

0.4 Liters per 5,000 Km is nothing to worry about. Relax and enjoy your car

That being said you might have to switch to 10w30 if Pennzoil doesnt work.
