Not my 1st Pcar, it's the 4th one, so used to the maintenance costs, but this is F'ing outrageous!
It is my 1st RS, so if this is normal for an RS just say so and I'll stop the rant.
If i got ripped off, gonna out the dealer on Google review and Porsche satisfaction survey.
So they basically charged you $125 per quart since an oil change on that engine is all that it takes. Hopefully they followed proper procedure.

Topped it up with 0.4 L of oil. Went to the half way mark on the digital readout initially. Next day it was at 3/4. Be careful not to overfill guys!!!

My car asked for oil at 1200mi yesterday. Same deal filled with 0.4 qt. Went half way. Haven’t started it today yet I’ll see if the amount increased like the other person above.

The motor will burn through more oil during break-in period. Don't think you guys should be that alarmed unless you're getting the warning at like 400 miles lol.

Just took my 4RS for its first oil change. Service manager says Porsche states that these cars can burn 1 quart per 1k miles and its within spec. The harder you drive the car the more it might burn, the more you ***** foot around then it won't burn oil.
