Check with your OPC but in my experience they will just say it's "normal" unless your garage floor is swimming !!!

If Porkers are driven hard-ish (or thrashed like demo's are) in the early miles they appear to use more oil.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

In the last 5,000 miles 1.25 litres. Being serviced beginning of April so total oil change then. DAZ

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i have put 6000 of the 10000 on my car and i have put in 6 to 7 litres.

POST 3Original post

Rich. When I took delivery the sales guy did explain that the engine can use upto 1 litre per 1,000 miles. I would say that your car is at that limit. Might be worth mentioning to them when you get it serviced. DAZ PS - Have you checked if the manual mentions an oil usage rate?

POST 4Original post

Only put 2k onto an existing 4k but haven't used any oil ! For what it's worth I have had a number Porkers prior to the Turbo & they have varied in oil usage, with some cars guzzling it without any problems during ownership. From my own experince I think it is down to how the car is run in. If Porkers are driven hard-ish (or thrashed like demo's are) in the early miles they appear to use more oil. Check with your OPC but in my experience they will just say it's "normal" unless your garage floor is swimming !!! How are you enjoying the car, wild eh !!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How much oil have you guys put in since taking delivery?
