So I popped the Cayman GTS into my local Porsche Centre (Cardiff) to have my summer wheels refitted

They did a quick health check and told me they had to top up the oil with about 1 litre.
The car has only done 3,700 miles but Porsche Cardiff reckon it's completely normal to use up to 1 litre every 1,000 miles

No wonder there's no scheduled oil change for 2 years, all the oil will be renewed at least twice in that time

I've had 911s that have used a lot of oil and some that used virtually none. A litre in the first 4000 miles hardly seems something to get worked up about
That's reassuring, thanks
