Unfortunately no bulletin yet to my knowledge. Keep driving until you get the red motor symbol.:/

G engine
2K miles so nicely run in now;
no oil consumption
appears to idle at slightly higher RPM than the previous E; warms up quicker too.
Oil pressure definitely higher
IMHO it also pulls a little harder than the E
Need to get it on a track to find out properly.
All the roads in the south east of the UK are so congested it makes using the power impossible

I have a '16 GT3, born with a G engine. After 3200 miles and 5 track days the engine has used just less than 1 qt of oil.

That's what I'm experiencing. Since I've had the engine less than 1 L....

Thanks - "F"

just hit 10,000 miles - random "smoke at start-up" - only had to add oil once - just did 3rd oil change - headed to 3rd COTA track event 6/18

At cold start, are your "G" motors idling at around 1500 RPMs for a few seconds? It wants to wake up neighbors and take off in the morning at first fire! :O

There is no doubt I leave at 5 am every morning everyone in my neighborhood knows when I leave for work! When I first got it I could not believe how loud it was on start-up.

I just got back from a road trip. I drove 11 hours straight with two fuel stops with my E engine. Nothing yet.

That's the plan. The car was flawless on this road trip. So many compliments everywhere I went. It was a trip to a conference in Steamboat Springs where I presented my newly released book. Taking the GT3 made the trip that much more fun. No tickets which was pretty remarkable with an average speed of 80 mph.

Chalk that up to "Very, Very Lucky".
