That is interesting.
My 20+ years older air cooled 85 Carrera uses about half as much of the exact same oil (M1 0w40). May be cause I drive like a sissy..

I expect that consumption to drop as the engine gets broken in.
Porsche says a quart every ~1200 or so miles on a new engine is not unusual. Looks like I am ahead of the curve.  Daily driver: rain, dirt, gravel, traffic, high-speed runs, slow crawls, fast corners, frequent details and much 3m Stoneguard.
