Have you observed the motors natural oil consumption habits?

Chance of prolonged use of bad fuel?
The rebuilder told me that the crank when he removed and rebalanced, it was 1.3kgs off. I dont know what that means. I had totally no problems for 6-8 months, even after track days. It only happened at the third track day where I had a misfire on Bank 6 at a high rpm and after that, everything ran funny even after replacing all the spark plugs. Ever since, I had severe oil consumption warnings on the idrive every 2-3 weeks even after filling it to a full level as shown on the idrive.

I would say we have pretty good fuel here in Singapore and I dont think its anything to do with the fuel. Possible but highly unlikely.
