How much oil do you go through on a typical day at the track? I'm talking 3 - 4 sessions, around 100 to 130 miles total.
Porsche has a stated limit on oil useage per 1,000 miles (to determine valve guide wear), but that's not too useful if you track your car much. Hence this poll.

Neither of my 964's has/had any significant (as in I can see a dip in the gauge or dipstick) oil use after a day at the track. So I'm voting 0. My current one (with a supercharger) has not used any oil at all since the last oil change 1,000 miles/3 months ago. Hopefully things will stay that way

my motor had somehwere in the area of 150-200k on it (odometer broke at 130, and tracked it for a few years after) and it used almost no oil, and dynoed at about 247WHP!
it is getting rebuilt now after a missed shift

How much you using?
About 10 years ago in my 73 T, I made the mistake of checking the oil level when the engine was off and added about 4 quarts....it puked it all out about an hour later....
