 What makes new engines burn oil? - Skoda
>> 430 miles later the dipstick is still on max

You sure the coolant's not just dropping? :-P :-P (joking!)

I think it's something like the cylinder walls have a pattern machined into them and running in scrubs this away, until it's bedded in excess oil is able to cling to the walls then on the next combustion stroke gets burned off in v small quantities.

Might be wrong or there might be other ways it can go too.
