.1 vs .2 oil use
i've been seeing this from a few different sources, the .2's are using oil significantly more than .1's , could some owners post up usage so we can see if there is somethin to it? thanks,

I think this issue has been discussed numerous times, but for what it is worth, I owned two 997.1 C2S and never added any oil between oil changes. On my 2012 GTS, I have added 1 quart in about 4,000 miles. Not a great deal of oil consumption in the GTS, and maybe it will stop now that I have some miles on it, but still, more than either 997.1 cars I owned.
One quart every 4,000 miles is insignificant as far as I am concerned.

I bought my 2009 a couple months ago, and drove it 1200 miles home.
It didn't use any, probably because I had some with me just in case....
Another 1500 miles since then, and I checked it yesterday - still full.

Based on numerous discussions on this forum over the last few years we can't conclude one is better than the other in terms of oil consumption. There is a large variability within each type. Many improve as they are broken in but there does not seem to be a correlation to how they were broken in.
I am still non the wiser on the mechanism why some consume oil but a number of reasons were suggested.

I've never added more than 1/4 to 1/2 quart between oil changes on my '09 997.2S; oil use is a non-issue for this car. This subject was beaten to death in previous threads.....
