About a 1,000 miles I add a quart.

Not a single drop of oil added in between oil changes. Which is about 8000kms/year. No coolant loss ever since dealer repaired the plastic coolant tube.

A little under a 1L for approximately 5000kms.
It all depends on how you drive your car. If I leave my car in auto ( pdk ) the engine never revs higher than 2-3k but I like to drive the car in Sport or manual mode which revs a lot higher and uses a little more oil.

I top off with 1/3 of a quart every 2,500 miles or so.

I've put a 1,000 miles worth of short trips on mine since the last oil change and the oil level has increased from full to one bar over full I need to take it out for a nice, long drive

My 997.1 3.8 used about 600ml on a 4000 mile trip. My 997.2 S used more.

Where do you find the best deal to buy the oil? Do you use a different viscosity for daily drivers in hot/humid Gulf Coast vs. garage queen vs. track day warrior, or do you just stick with what's in the owners manual?

Sometime you can find specials at auto parts stores, but good ole Walmart is the cheapest. As far as viscosity, I do not track my car but I live in Oklahoma so the weather goes from hot to cold and vise versa pretty quick, so I stick with the recommended. I think it has a wide band of safe temp.

4700 miles since last oil change. Still showing full. No oil usage at all.

I've seen a lot of threads on here & other forums discussing oil (viscosity & consumption). I'm new to Porsche (less than 1 month) and am trying to think of things I should keep on hand for general maintenance. Engine oil for the occasional top-off comes to mind, and I had planned to do 10k mi oil change intervals (half of mfg rec, for my daily driver in Houston).
On my 2008 Z06 (gone now), clutch dust would accumulate in the clutch fluid after spirited driving. I have not heard of this on any P-car. Can anybody confirm this is not a worry for 997.2?

myw

ive never heard of any clutch dust issues re any 997 so i woudlnt worry about that. re oil changes i would recommended changing sooner, 6-8k miles.

i think Porsche recommended oil changes are a little on the delusional side.

beautiful car and color blue steel.
