Sounds very typical of german engine's. Get the engine replaced under warranty.
Ever since volvo and vw went to super low tension piston rings, and ultra thin drainage gaps, reliability got even worse than it was.
Dealer will say its pcv system. They will replace it a few times, and then the engine will finally blow. Seen it happen to several friends who thought vw/volvo/merc/german brands except porsche are reliable (I really want to laugh but at this point I can only cry and sympathize as you watch your 20-40k car value drop to zero).
This happened to my boss just last year during peak car prices. Dealer kept saying they "fixed it" and that it was "this or that" and he kept topping up the oil 1qt ever 1000 until the engine was burning the entire sump in 1000. I told him this is bad and he didn't listen, trusting the dealer like every normie who never pops their hood.
What is worse, he bought a 110k mile lexus for 35 grand after his engine blew. Brilliant.
