As a related issue, I still can't work out why the electronic dipstick has to be reset at every oil change. If it's really super accurate with no drift then it should surely be set during production and then never touched? Resetting it at every change after the new oil has been loaded is asking for trouble...

A piece of pointless technology imo. Nevertheless if your consumption is correct
with my annual 20k I would be getting through over 3.5 ltrs per year and would rightly be buying in quantity as I do with my classics, which tend to leak more than use!
However at 93k and towing most of the time, so heavy use, I am currently using nothing between services. So I suspect and hope that your electric dipstick is telling lies.
