Thought I'd start new thread in hopes this helps the folks with 2011s.

Based on the Stuck in Port - V8 Stop Sale thread, I called my local service dept and asked about any recalls on my VIN. It turns out that I have a similar issue to jrams31, check oil level & sensor and WA73 computer reprogram. The service adviser made it sound like it was no big deal, but I'm glad I read about it here and called to check. I haven't noticed any issues whatsoever with the car and have not had to add any oil in 1,600+ miles.

Build completion date was 11/30/10, V6.

That's interesting. I just hit 6k miles and added my 5th quart of oil.....

V6, CS, or CTT? I've heard of the latter two needing lots of oil in the first 5k miles, but haven't experienced it with my 6.

I'm under 3k and added a 6th quart yesterday. First at 660 miles and then at 300 mile intervals and last interval at slightly over 800 miles (but 600 out of those 800 miles were due to an interstate trip with lots of highway driving).

CTT.

CTT

Ok... I'll bite. Are you serious???? That seems way higher than anything I've heard so far.

Good idea for a thread slw. BTW, my CTT has close to 1900 miles and oil level has dipped one bar. Have not added a drop of oil ... Don't know if thats good or bad.

EnigmaWmn

Yup, serious. Thanks for the reminder, though. Just placed another order for a 6 pack of oil

Lots of city driving in stop and go traffic mixed in with highway. Dealer said to give it until 3k and that it's "totally normal". Approaching 3k. I'm not worried, but they should be

BTW, most of my driving is highway as the CS is a weekend family cruiser. That has probably got to be the biggest reason for my CS's oil consumption or lack thereof.

I'll check over the weekend and see how much oil I use after I next top off.

FWIW, 2100 miles in the supercharged V6 and haven't added any oil yet - the oil level in the gauge has perhaps gone down by one notch.

8500 miles on my 2011 Cayenne S, 3 quarts so far, oil consumption has gotten significantly better as I put more miles on. Mostly highway miles.

Just brought in my '11 S for it's first oil change at 5,000 miles (burned 1.5 qt. oil in that span) and the dealer performed campaigns WA82 and WA73. It was built during November, but I don't know the exact date, the service mgr. was gone when I picked it up so I didn't get to ask what was entailed. I assume reprogramming the DME as it took a couple of hours.

I have 1100 miles and one bar gone. But then again, I don't know if it started at the top. Will report back if things look iffy.
