anyway, on my G after about 10-12K miles i could fill to the very top without burning oil. my Z is at 8300 miles and still burns oil if i fill to the top dot... not worried though.
I had it fill to the top dot. Maybe it could be the same issue as you? I don't know but I will have to get it tested just in case.
