Default Oil consumption

My 991 911S has never consumed any oil according to the reading on the instrument cluster. My car is not tracked, but I drive spiritedly 90% of the time with many high RPM shifts. I oil serviced the car in March and have driven over 10K miles since. Zero consumption.

Is everybody else experiencing this? I just want get a feel if I should have the oil level sensor checked.

Thanks

None of my Porsches have ever consumed measurable oil between 5-7,000 mile oil change intervals. Normal.

Others here on Rennlist add a quart every couple thousand miles. That's normal too.

If you were driving a wankel engine it would be a problem that you weren't consuming oil.

Sounds like your problem is no problem.

I have not noticed any consumption in my TTS at 12K miles.
