New owner of a Cayman S 2006
Hi forum,
I am Andreas from Denmark, and I have just had one of my childhood dreams come thru, I am now the happy owner of a Cayman S 3,4 tiptronic from 2006. It drives like a dream, but I have a question about the oil usage.
I do not know what standard is, but as I can calculate, it uses around 1 liter of oil pr. 800-1.000 kilometers. Should I have concerns, or is the within "normal"? I have topped it of with 0W-40 after talking to Porsche in Denmark.
It has 140.000km on the clock.
What would you recommend?
Looking forward to hear your feedback
Best regards, Andreas

Dear Andreas,
Welcome to the Porsche forums. You've posted your message in a DIY section for CAYENNES - which are not the same as your Cayman.
I'll move this to the Cayman subforum. In the future please take note of what forum you're posting in.

I was going thru ~ 1 liter every 3,000 miles and when I was having some track prep mods done one of the things I did was change to the Motorsports Air Oil Separator. Mechanic said the stock AOS was bad and since changing to the Motorsport AOS I have not burned any oil.
