2011 Porsche Cayenne S Oil Warning

Update on the "oil has reached minimum level" indicator. Mike in CA is correct, each bar on the instrument panel readout is approximately a 1/4 quart. It took 1 and 1/2 quarts to reach the max level on the readout. What puzzles me is the oil consumption amounts reported by other members. My 2011 Cayenne S used 1 1/2 quarts over 7800 miles, which is substantially less than other members usage.
Anybody have any ideas why there is such a discrepancy?

). Figure an average round you're walking at least 5 miles unless you have trouble hitting it straight, in which case it can be much more.....

I know I am missing something here, why do the keys need to be reprogramed when the tail light assemblies are replaced? That seems just so disconnected. Please explain I am new here. thanks

I always walk the course, except in the rare places where a cart is required. People who drive carts are missing most of the point of playing (assuming there is a point ). Figure an average round you're walking at least 5 miles unless you have trouble hitting it straight, in which case it can be much more.....

Completely agree on the walking part. Unfortunately many "modern" layouts (at least here in NC) require lengthy (and I mean really lengthy) treks between green and the next tee. In some cases, a sherpa and rappelling gear are required. It has definitely affected my enjoyment of the game; that and 5 hour rounds. I enjoy the exercise, but not in August when the 9th hole leaves you a 1/4 mile from the clubhouse and the tenth hole.
