No, the only time any needed topping up was when they were brand new and the high carbon content absorbs some oil. After 8600 miles my Evoque currently has used 1/4 of a dipstick of oil since delivery and since November it hasn't changed, but I still carry a top up pack in the boot just in case!

That's good to know.

Blimey, I haven't even opened the bonnet yet, quite strange really as that is one of the first things I usually do when I get another car.
Might have a look tomorrow.

Does the evoque have a proper dipstick or a stupid electonic one like my audi
Is the oil 5w 30 ? For an sd4

The manual shows a proper dipstick, and for the oil see this thread:

OK, I lifted the bonnet at the weekend. Just over 400 miles on the clock, withdrew the physical oil dipstick and the oil was still a golden colour.
