DS 7 Puretech 225 burning some oil

Unread post by kirkjames1 »

I have a 2019 DS 7 with the 1.6 Puretech 225 engine. I got it 2 years ago, when it was at 47k miles. I've put on another 25 since. For the last year, I've needed to top up oil (I use the Total INEO First 0W30). My mechanic tells me it's 100% clean underneath, no leaks, so he says it happens with these engines and he does not feel it's at an alarming rate currently. The rate is basically 1lt every 3k miles if I drive at stable motorway speeds, but can be 1lt at less than 1500 miles for more start/stop/accellerate etc around city driving. Any idea how common this is? Is there anything that I should ask my mechanic to check for? I like the car a lot, so I'd prefer to keep it a few years (so hopefully past the 3 year warranty I got that expires next year).
Thanks!
