How much Oil does your V12VS use?

[CatalystV12V]

I've been pleasantly surprised at how little oil my 2014 V12VS uses. When I had the manual 2010 V12 I had to top up oil every 1 - 2k miles, not much but a little.

Similar milage in the V12VS and no oil usage at all.

Is this what other owners see?

Not put any in mine yet. Its a 2016 V12VS Roadster. Had 14k miles on it when I bought it 18 months ago, and around 22k miles now. I check the oil every few months or before any long trips and it hasn't needed any.

I was used to some oil consumption from my previous V8 Vantages, so when I got the V12 I bought the specific oil for it, and 18 months later the container is unopened. With my yearly mileage I doubt it will need any in between services.

Owned my V12VSM 9 years this Xmas from new! (Time flys!)

Never had to put any oil in it whatsoever, other than of course it has been annually serviced so had a full oil change at that time.

2017, owned for 7 years, 67,000km, never need to top the oil up.

Thanks for the feedback…

I had my oil analysed at the last service , mainly due to catalytic converter worries.. came back with no observations.
I should add that there is no misfire detected either..

It’s now done about 22k miles and I’m very pleased with my last two years of ownership.. maybe I’m over cautious, but I think I’ll always be keeping a close eye on things :0)

11 years old this past October. Never had to top up.

Come to think of it, I cannot recall the last time I had to top up the oil in any car I've owned.

Modern engines are pretty good in this regard. I've never subscribed to the idea that you need to baby a new engine either. The first few km/mi are most important - lots of varying of revs, plenty of engine braking to help seat the rings.

When I bought my V12VSR back in 2015, I asked the dealer to put a 1L bottle of oil in the boot in case it needs topping up in between servicing. He just laughed, put the bottle in the boot as requested and told me I’d n’ever use it and he was right, I still have the unopened bottle ten years and 20,000 miles later.
