Yes, the 1.5L BlueCore engine with DCT transmission sees more complaints related to oil burning than the 1.37L manual variant. Possible reasons include:

Higher operating temperatures due to the dual-clutch transmission system

Slightly tighter packaging around the engine bay, which can worsen heat soak

The 1.5L engine working harder in urban stop-and-go conditions
This variant-specific issue may point to a cooling o r crankcase ventilation inefficiency in the 1.5L models.
