In last 1,250 miles have burned about 1.5 quarts of oil. Have a call into the dealer. Panamera S with about 4,300 miles, new Feb 2010. Opinions / suggestions. This is one sweet machine and a super daily driver

Did you do a proper engine break-in? As stated in your owner's manual??

Richard_911

Yes to a proper break-in. This is my fifth Porsche and first oil burner

My Panamera Turbo used a quart in its first 1200 miles. New late Feb. 2010, break-in by the book.

Second quart at 1800 after adding first quart.

Third quart at about 3800 miles after second quart.

Oil change light came on @ around 9500 total miles with oil gauge at 1/2, so looking like 5000-6000 miles per quart at the moment.

It's getting better every day!

You've never owned an air cooled Porsche?

Richard_911

My 71 911T made it fine between oil changes which was around 2k miles or every 6weeks or so. I think I changed weber jets as often!

Some engines just use oil. On my 4th Porsche (first with water cooling) and the water cooled 997S sucks oil at the rate of a quart / 1000 miles. (Now with 49,000 miles). Broke in per the book. Used that same rate from day one.

I just passed 3800 miles and added a 1/2 qt.

My TURBO has burned 'one bar' after 1800 miles.
