I assume that you used about 6.5 - 7 litres of the SLX on the oil change.
If that is the case, then you have had to top up between 1 - 1.5 litres after 10k miles.
I generally have to top up with a litre at 10k miles and this doesn't quite take it to full, so your usage is about the same as mine.
This, of course, is based on my initial assumption about the oil change.
Otherwise, a litre every 1000 miles or so is not that good. What were you getting with TWS?

The 8 litres doesn't include the oil change on the Inspection 1 service: All 8 litres were used in topping up only.
No idea what it's like for TWS, as I had the service done a few weeks after buying the car, and requested they use SLX.
The seller did state that oil usage wasn't bad though, so I'm hoping it will drastically cut back on the frequency of top-ups.
Castrol have two (new?) 10w-60 oils in the Edge range, one for M engines, and a standard motorsport one. Anyone know anything about these, or what Alpina think of them? A better option than TWS? Who could we ask? [hint mode]Slamby looks at Charles and his Alpina contacts.[/hint mode]
