I own a 2011 model 1.3 JTD Gen 1 Punto clocked almost 41500KM. 6500km back i switched to Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, Though the drive is smooth with additive and oil booster, i see a reduction in stick level, in 6 months the stick is showing only half the level, i filled the sump maintaining max level in stick.

I dont see a black/white smoke funny smell during cold starts/
i dont see any oil slick in my basement
i dont see turbo leaking oil
Coolant is still bright pink, no leak from oil cooler what so ever.
i have no pick up issues, drives well
i am getting a decent mileage 18 kmpl

Where do i start about to diagnose for the missing oil, if its not getting into the combustion chamber ? How come so much oil be lost in 6k km ?

Are you sure the filter was full at the last change..?? That accounts for a similar amount

Full as in? are you asking if i replaced it, i did replace the oil filter with a new one, could you explain a little on this charlie, as always thanking you in advance.
 
Yes, i ran the engine re checked stick level and made sure it was full, this happ in may 2016 now in 6 months, the stick is just half way full, not sure how i lost so much in just 6 months time..
 
Completely normal oil consumption, some will be burnt during the normal running conditions plus some will bleed through the turbo seals and will be in the turbo hoses and intercooler. Completely normal tho
