May I seek views on the above hoary old question, and apologies if this has been addressed multi-times before? After just over 2 years ownership of my 73k miles 1996 993 Targa, I'm trying to figure out what engine oil consumption I should expect. My official Porsche Drivers Manual quotes "Up to 1.5 litres/1000km". By modern day liquid-cooled engine standards this does seem very high, but I do recognise that a 20+ year old air-cooled engine will use more oil. Some other internet threads indicate oil consumption is higher the fuller the oil tank is kept. Not really seen any guidance on whether there are any particular grades/makes of oil which minimise consumption.
Any inputs on typical oil consumption/ tips to minimise consumption would be appreciated.
Many thanks, John
