GTS Oil consumption
Sorry if this has been discussed before (please point me to a link), but I am wondering what folks are getting for oil consumption with that 0W30 oil? My 991.2 Carrera S consumed almost 0 measurable oil (5W30) in about 2000 mi. I never let oil change intervals go beyond about 2K in the 911 so I do not know the 10K consumption levels for that car. Just curios what Macan users are getting for consumption over the 10K mi oil change interval? I know it depends on engine RPM history and driving style. The Porsche cited max oil consumption of 0.84 qts/620 mi is outrageously high, and I hope my motor never sees consumption at that level. But that 0W30 oil makes me nervous.

I've had my 2020 Macan GTS since new, first oil change with M1 (0W30) at 5,000 miles and didn't notice any consumption at all (I did put the car under load during break-in though). Next oil change I switched to Ravenol VMP (5W30) and have been using it ever since. Per the owners manual the 2020 GTS can use 0W30 or 5W30 as long as it has the Porsche C30 approval specificiation which the Ravenol has. The Ravenol VMP 5W30 is a PAO based oil with very robust specs and extremely low volatility (Noack). I wish Ravenol made a Porsche C40 spec 0W40 oil for my 992!

For my 2018 Turbo with 67k on the odometer i loose very little oil. Translation: 1/2 cup every 5k. I change my oil/filter every 5k.

2019 S with 75K miles. Change it every 10K. I have had to add 0.5 qt twice in-between 10K changes.

I'm putting a lot of miles on my GTS. mixed northeast driving, probably 17 miles of highway cruising, then 8 miles of highway congestion. I am currently at 23k miles on a '22 GTS.
Oil consumption has been about 1 quart every 8k. Enough to carry a quart in the trunk. I would say it's about the same in my Cayenne. 992 has not required any but only drive it about 4-5k/year.
