And that is why I put a catch can into the system. Oil is still getting pulled out of the crankcase. If the vapors go through a catch can you can return it to the crankcase. That said, from full to low in 500 km is a huge loss of oil. That's a liter. Even when I had a bad CCV and I was burning a lot of oil, the most I used was a liter in 600 miles. That was half your usage and I was getting smoke out of the tail pipe. With your kind of usage you should be too, or you should have a big puddle under your engine.
