Oil consumption--does anyone know the official limit for a 996

[Jon996]

I am at the dealer for an oil consumption test (see my other thread for details) but I was wondering if anyone had a TSB with the official consumption rate limit from Porshe. I searched the TSBs a couple of times but did not find anything.

The reason I ask is that I have heard 1 qt per 600 miles, 1.1 qt per 622 miles, and most recently, 1.5 qt per 622 miles. The 1.1qt/622 miles and 1.5 qt/622 mile figures were from two different people at the same dealership! The dealer will not look into it under warranty unless the "official" limit is met.

Thanks,

Jon

PS: I know this is a lot of oil, I like my car, the dealer is nice, not wanting to start another oil war. Just want the facts before the consumption test is done.

1,5 gr/km. = 1,500 kg./1.000 km. for all Porsche engines.

1,5 gr/km. = 1,500 kg./1.000 km. for all Porsche engines.

Thanks, but "ouch!" If I converted correctly (including the density of the oil) I get 1.76 L/1000KM or 1.86 qt per 621 miles.

Action will take place, generally spoken, before reaching the limit, don't worry about that.
