I have an 03 BBY engine. The manual says that it can use 1/2 litre every 1000Km which I believe is about 620 miles. When I got my car the previous user serviced it before I got it. Stupidly I didn't check what oil was used. I had to top up at 660 miles after I received the car with the oil I carry which was VW/Audi synthetic 5W/30. The next fill was at 880 miles and The one after that 1240 miles. I got it serviced and they filled it with new synthetic 5W/30 and I have now run nearly 1500 miles with no top up.
From what I read here, The BBY engine is more likely to use oil but I was alarmed by my usage. Refilling with 5W/30 may not have resolved it but it has made it manageable! I'm still carrying oil though....
