Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

My 02C2 used around this amount when the car was new but the usage dropped off considerably post run-in.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

[FONT=arial"]Can anyone give me some guidance/reassurrance? I have recently bought a C4S with 15000 miles on an '02 plate. After 1100 miles it took a litre of mobil 1 after some demanding driving. Its just taken another half litre after 600 miles of general pootling about. Should it be using oil like this and if so wheres it going? Cheers.

POST 2Original post

I think the Porsche specified acceptable figure is 1L/1000km although I stand to be corrected on this. My 02C2 used around this amount when the car was new but the usage dropped off considerably post run-in. My 01C2 was the same. At 15,000 you 4S should be well run in. Assume you have checked for external leaks, undue amounts of exhaust smoke and coolant is not contaminated with oil? I would have a word with your local OPC for advice.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that. All the above were negated at the first point of concern. Where does it all go then, through the valves?

POST 4Original post

Past the rings I think. The Lokasil bores are really hard, as are the rings, and they often take a LONG time to bed in. It wouldn't surprise me if your oil consumption reduced with mileage. In the engines that I have heard of that have been stripped, ring wear is always very low. On the air-cooled engines it was much higher.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
