This is starting to seem really really bizarre. I drive in sport plus and S more exclusively, for the most part. I followed break-in exactly. So basically I’m going to need to add a quart of oil every 1800 miles. That seems excessively excessive....
identical to my mileage and oil needs and i do drive in sport plus mode or sport mode almost all the time.
I'm no expert but I'd say sport plus is effectively race mode and is really intended for track use, not everyday driving. The engine will run hotter so if you drive like that all the time you'll need to use the right kind of oil and/or change it more frequently.
