Can't say I've noticed it on my 981S - but haven't been looking for it specifically. Mine (and a few others on this forum) report that the car uses a bit of oil, particularly when new. Mine went from full to minimum in about 8000 miles

How do you check the level?

Via the "vehicle" "oil measurement" function on the multi-function display.

I was warned to keep an eye on oil level by the dealer when I collected the car.

As it happens, it doesn't appear to have used a drop in three years. I've certainly never noticed any smoke at all.

Never noticed any smoke from mine on acceleration. Is it using any oil? Mine hasn't used a drop in the 5000 miles I've owned it.
