I have an 05 911 S and have about 4000 miles on it. I have noticed that the oil level is low. At 2000 miles i added about a half a quart and and 4000 miles i added another half a quart.
I broke the car in properly and do not abuse it. Is this normal? Does anybody else have this problem or should i take it in to be serviced? I have heared that high performance engines will burn oil.
thanks

 

i would take that car back to the dealer so fast it woudl make their head spin!

 

sounds like it needs to be sent back to me, but that's my $0.02

 

for what that car likley cost, i wouldnt take chances..i would want "it will use oil" in writing from the dealership.

 

Thanks for the advice. I will make a service appt. and take it in next week.

 

let us know what they say!

 

My '03 Carrera 4 with 14,000 miles requires some topping off as well. I'm off the the dealer this weekend to check it out.

 

i would be irate if i had to deal with this, considering the price of the car.

 

I suspect that is quite normal. The Manual with the car notes that oil is expected to be used, especially near 'run-in'. My Carerra used 1/2 litre in 1st 1500 miles, and will check again now i have done 2000km.

Those who said 'run to the dealer' do not appear to be experienced in the ways of Porsche engines.

Good Luck, and report back to us! KiwiCanuck

 

I have a 2002 Carerra and my car consumes a quart of oil every two weeks...I must say it's my daily driver and I ride it hard. The technician at the dealer said it was normal.
