Looks like you may not have the problem yet. That sample will settle it. If anything, you may have normal oil consumption for an engine that's done 136k. Most of my vehicles didn't use anything up until around 50k. My Eos with 72k and T6 with 57k seem to use around 1/2 a litre every 10k which is pretty good. For comparison, I'm getting 38 to 42 on a steady unloaded drive keeping at 70mph. I've just been to Yorkshire for a holiday fully loaded, 1 kid, 3 bikes and a trailer that's circa 400kg and got 36 on the motorway with a lot of traffic and stops. A clear run on the way home came in at 40mpg but keep in mind I was only doing 60ish on the motorway with the trailer.
I'm also starting to wonder if the EGR problem is exacerbated by short runs. Like most diesel issues related to short runs, the EGR won't enjoy cooler short periods of running. I can imagine this promotes the aluminium corrosion leading to the material break out which is then ingested. Would be good to see if any other high-milers have the same experience?
