I can't speak for the S65, but there are countless folks on BITOG who experience a temporary rise in consumption when changing oil types. Most of them report that it comes back down after one or two oil change intervals. I've never seen a clear answer on why this is, but I would guess it has to do with the new stuff interacting with the motor differently (i.e. cleaning more aggressively, causing rings to re-seat slightly, etc).
If it bothers you, or you notice consumption continues to stay high, maybe switch back?
