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,

Dont have any figures, but my friends 2009 gen 2 uses significantly more oil than my 2006 gen 1.

I've only put ~6K miles over 15+ months since ownership but have not noticed any oil consumption so far. Note: I change my oil+filter every 3k miles or 6 months whichever comes 1st.

oh my, couldn't be. the DFI's are a far, far superior engine, in every way shape and form. right?

A quart about every 2,500 miles here.

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.

On 997.1, I burn about 1/4 of a quart in-between oil changes of 4-5K miles.

There was a long thread about it like a year ago.

2012 997 S cab 0 oil use in 3000 miles.

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.....

I don't have hard numbers since I wasn't paying that much attention to it, but my '09 used more than my '06 overall, but my '06 burned more during break-in (if that makes sense).

Oil usage is a non factor in the buying decision process because both use oil, some or sometimes none as reported even in this tiny thread.

.2 over .1 all day, everyday.

Have a 09 C2 and have driven it 4k miles in 6 months. Only went down one bar on the gauge.

I've had my 2009 C2S for 2.5 years and have never needed to add any oil at all between oil changes.
