Oil consumption: Normal or not?
Hi!
Cayenne S 2008, bought new. Oil 0W40 (Russia, cold in Winter) Mobil-1
Oil consumption was about 1 liter every 3000/3500 km during the first 10000 km (After I changed all the oil and filter, waiting now to see if I need to add oil again).
Porsche techs told me this is normal, but some guys on another board tell me that only the 'turbo' needs adding oil, and that my consumption is *not* normal.
Ah maybe it will give a hint, I drive 80% (maybe even more) in town...
What is your opinion? As the car is under guarantee, better to fix all potential problems now!

Quite normal.
Again, driving habits will in fact affect the rate of which your engine consumes oil as agressive driving will definitely increase oil consumption.
