Default oil consumption ?

I recently added 1/4 qt when the gage was four bars down. This took it to full. I drove about 400 miles mainly highway and now the gage shows three bars down. Is this normal?

Thanks for any input.

Skipp - that should be OK. Just keep an eye on the oil level by checking it first thing in the morning (well, you CAN have a cup of coffee first ) prior to initial start up. .

According to porsche, up to 1/2 qt/500mi. is considered 'normal' under 'heavy duty' usage.
