Hi
New to Porsche ownership so apologies in advance for what might be a newbie question.
Car is a 2020 Cayman 2.0L PDK bought a few months ago from a Porsche OPC with 19K miles on the clock.
I have a question about oil consumption. I have done a search on the new forum (nice clean and readable look by the way) but most of the threads I have found are not really helpful.
The question is – I’ve now put 1,200 miles on the clock and it looks like about 500ml of oil have been used according to the electronic gauge. This gives a consumption of about 2,500 miles per litre of oil. The car has been driven gently because I am still at the stage of getting used to it.
Is that oil consumption considered to be normal? The reason I ask is that the Merc sports cars I’ve owned previously consumed zero oil between 12month/12,000 mile services.
My understanding is that excessive oil counsumption can damage the GPF which Porsche refuse to cover under warranty.
Any comments gratefully received.
