I have a 1998 57,000 miler V90 with the 204bhp straight six B6304FS1 engine, which presumably was fitted to earlier 960s?. After a string of three 4 cylinder B230 engines (without turbo, LPT and HPT)in previous cars, none of which used any oil (including the 180,000 miler non turbo car) I find that my 3,000 miles in this vehicle over the last couple of months since I acquired it has used maybe one third of a litre. There is no visible sign of leakage/burning. This is not a high consumption of course, but I'm not used to this!
Is this engine range considered to be an oil user?

Any comment please?

Regards Stuart
