Since my last oil change and after doing 850 kms (about 530 miles) - including my participation in the Porsche Festival - I had to add about half a liter of oil.
I think this is a rather high consumption of oil, or itīs not so bad?
My car has 96400 miles and still some small oil leaks.
I am using Liqui Moly german oil (10w-40)

The manual says that 'up to 1.5 litres per 1000 Km is acceptable'. So yours is 1.5 litres per 2550 Km, which seems to be good. Be interested to see what oil usage others return?

It depends upon how you drive you car and on how you measure the oil level. If you drive it harder it will consume more oil. If you measure the level really hot, and then just hot you will see a difference in level even though there is none.
You'll need to keep some records over a longer period of time (and miles) before making any meaningful assessment on the engines consumption rate.
