   i've never put oil in our 143000 mile berlingo between services,same on our old saxo. however, my old mans last merc diesel always need a small top up betwen services. audis new diesels always seem to burn a drop off, we asked the dealership about this and was told it was within limits whatever they are lol

   Serviced mine about 6 months ago and checked it today, its just below the max mark
   
   Realistically, you shouldnt need to top it up between services (assuming they are yearly roughly)
