I seem to remember someone posting about oil usage when using Mobil1 0W40 and no noticeable usage with other oils. Been using in my 2018 GoldWing ( Honda motorcycle), for the last 2 changes and notice it seems to use about 12-15 ounces between 4000 mile oci’s. Not a big deal just curious as No usage with other oils. NOTE. I realize this is the auto section. I am asking here because the GoldWing engine more closely resembles an automotive engine than a typical motorcycle engine, AND,no one but me is using it in motorcycles. Yes I did post my analysis of it in the motorcycle section and fyi the wear metals were almost non existent. Anyone else noticed this with this oil? Thanks.
Mobil1 0W40 euro (fs) oil usage

- Start date
i would probably need to repeat this experience for 10 oci's with two different oils before i was even remotely confident the oil itself is the reason for the consumption. very hard to control for driving conditions, weather, measurement errors, etc.
I have been using M1 0W-40 FS Euro in my '14 MB E350 exclusively, for the entire 60,000 miles that I have owned the car. I follow the MB 10,000 mile oil change interval, and I have never had any measurable loss of oil on the dipstick, even just before changing oil.
I also used M1 0W-40 FS Euro exclusively in my '07 MB SL550. I only drove it for 25,000 miles, and again, never had any oil consumption that could be seen on the dipstick.
This is the first time I have heard anyone claim that they have oil usage with M1 0W-40 Euro, and I definitely can't relate to the claim.

I never return to a oil brand, if it begins consumption issues in any of my engines.
I recommend another brand name next OCI.
I always try to halt the consumption, before it becomes inevitable that it's the engine's fault and not the oil. Try a few others before declaring a final verdict of victory or defeat.
There are other 0w40s out there. It's fun to tinker, when issues arise.

Life's too short to stick with one oil exclusively.
Especially when it's not performing as expected.
I've used this oil in a lot of engines that cut the consumption in half or stopped consumption completely. Only one case have I seen it where an engine consumed a lot of it, and that was my nephews Dodge dakota pickup, tried a 10W30 last time in that one.
Must have been a senior moment. When I noticed the slight drop on the dipstick I thought I remembered someone posting that observation on here but I guess I was wrong. Anyway I will continue to use it and as I mentioned originally not bothered by it, just curious.
