At worst I wouldn't expect to add more than a litre between services.

ALL car engines burn oil, but you may not see the oil level change as it is replaced by small quantities of unburnt fuel. People often see a sudden drop in oil level when motorway driving because the engine oil gets hotter on the motorway and burns off the fuel content in the oil making it appear that oil consumption has increased.
