What is amazing is that the car doesn't use any noticeable amount of oil. My friend's much lower mileage one does.
In the future I may have to sell my 1.7 GLE, its been standing unused for some years now.
By the way, just installed the latest Linux Mint (20.2) on a spare drive, pretty good.

Unburned fuel is clean so will keep the oil clean but make it thinner - it's more of a precaution than anything but worth taking IMHO. Better to poteantially "waste" an oil/filter change than waste the engine which from everything you've said about it, seems to be a good one.
My nearest Aldi is ~7miles but i rarely if ever go there. Nearset Lidl is ~12-14 miles but again, rarely go there.
Why not keep your 1.7GLE and sell your fiend the one you're using that uses less oil than his?
I'm on Bionic Beaver, am i right in thinking Mint is the "light" version?
