2011 Calais V Series II high oil consumption

We have a 2011 Calais V Series II, and like a lot of others, ours uses oil even though it's only 40,000 km. Has Holden admitted that there is a fault or not, as when we have complained to our dealer they have just said to just monitor it. Also wondering if the VF is having similar problems.

I'm not aware that Holden has said there is a fault with the engine that causes the high oil consumption; the reaction from dealers is usually the one you got, i.e., to monitor it. Ask the dealer to monitor it themselves and if their results show high oil consumption it's much easier for you to request remedial action. I don't believe there is any difference with the VF.
