Have seen many questions around this, but thought it would be helpful to have a running poll to see the numbers!

Standardized to a 6k oil change interval.

Please list specs/miles after voting.

997.2 owners only, to keep the data clean.

Balr14

Annual oil change (2000 miles), so that might not help you much.

Wayne Smith

2010 C4S PDK bought with 35K miles. 21 oil changes on 5K mile interval. Same 7.5 quart amount out and in each time. Mobil One 0-40.

2009 C2S 162K miles

5K change intervals, seeing a slight increase in usage...

check with a dealer, I saw a service bulletin memo that said you could expect up to 1.5L per 1000 mi

105k on the clock. I usually lose 1 bar or .4 liters every 5000 miles as that is my oil change interval.

Prairiedawg

19k on the odo. First 3k miles of ownership. It dropped from the top bar to the second from the top since my oil change in March. I used Mobile 1 5w50, 2012 GTS.

mk85911

For the first 30k miles, down about one bar per 3000 miles. Since 30k, no indicated consumption per 4000 mile oil change interval. Total mileage now 42,000.

2011 3.6 manual transmission, followed recommended break in ; drive it pretty hard since break in.

997.2.C4S

1 quart every 1000 miles. On 52000 miles now. Am told repeatedly it’s normal. 992.2 C4S Manual

For those using the gauge realize that two drops of oil could make the gauge move a bar. Or thermal expansion over a 10F variation. Quantity in at an oil change plus oil added between changes vs quantity out at the next oil change is really the only accurate measurement.

2011 MT, 92,000 miles 5,000 oil services Mobil one. Never added any oil.

OK, you smug owners who burn no oil... (Wayne!)..... maybe, just maybe you are scoring your bores. Think about it! You are not burning oil because your pistons are starving for a little lubrication. Soon, maybe this coming weekend, your engines are going to explode. Fire.... Shrapnel.... Mushroom cloud to the heavens. Yea, that is going to happen to you smug non-oil burners.

I'm figuring that all you've mentioned has already happened plus I've blown my head gaskets. But the universe is in order and I'm trading oil and fuel and coolant in just the right way that everything is staying filled as it should. Life is good!!!

PS ... Got out for a great drive up the coast last week and even at 136K miles the car still runs like new 8)

6 month or 5K mile change intervals. 0 to 1/4 liter of Motul 8100 between changes.

To smug owner Wayne- which coast? we do have several. Mine doesn't burn any oil and I don't get yelled at, what gives? Also last week did 700 miles on the California "Nurburing north loop" AKA Cal 33 to Cal 58 and points west to coast PCH and wine country back roads. Did not see any reason to burn any oil but probably wore out some of the air in the tires. Should probably check it and send a sample to Bruce for analysis and therapy. Don't want any squashed oxygen molecules or god forbid a twisted and dizzy nitrogen molecule.
