2011 oil consumption
#31
Thought I would update this thread. 750 miles on the ODO, oil level still holding at the highest bar. Weird how it can change from vehicle to vehicle. What do you guys think is going on ?

My 2011 S has also been going thru alot of oil. The dealer is is now doing an oil consumption test whereby they are documenting the amounts for their records.
As soon as I put on 600 miles and they measure, I will find out the results.

Thanks for all of the input everyone. I have a CTT on order to be my daily driver. I drive about 4000 miles a month. I called the technician who works on my 997 and he stated that 1 litre of oil per 600mi is normal. It should drop off slightly as the engine parts seat. He said to expect it to be around 800-1000 miles from then on, but they have seen CTTs stay at the 600mi mark.
Thats about $50 extra a month but the hassle will be the need to buy cases of oil at a time....
I wish they had designed an extra storage compartment for the extra quarts of oil I will need. I guess I can always use the roof rack!
I think I may get some Mobil stock....

So I went over 2,000 mi. before adding the last quart. As to needing another quart 30 miles after adding one at 2,665, I think that's where the e dipstick got "stuck", but at any rate it's been well behaved since.

Are most of your miles from longer trips, so far? Or, combination of local and some highway.
We'll probably never know, but wonder is oil consumption is break in with infrequent longer distant highway miles?
Lots of luck and fun with your new ride.
Thanks.
