Oil Consumption

[bigpeps52]

I have a 1999 996 with 30,000 miles on it

It seems to be using a little bit oil, no leaks or smoke. The dipstick looks fine but the reader on the dashboard is on line. What is normal oil consumption for this baby?

A little oil - how much is that?

Porsche says 1 liter in 600 miles is still acceptable.

My 2002 996 C2 (56000 km) uses no oil (measureable anyway) with normal driving but will consume a little (nowhere near the Porsche acceptable numbers) when I have the opportunity to spend some time at 250km/h.

They do puff a bit at startup if they are not parked level, especially after getting a good workout.

Mine's the same, cane it and it drinks the oil, drive it modestly and it needs a liter every 2,000 miles.
