Oil is cheap.
This is one of my favorite notes I have read about oil consumption (not a Porsche, but a radial aircraft engine).
On the Wright 3350 [Connie fame] normal oil consumption could be 1 US gal per hour with a max allowable of 5 US gals an hour so the external oil tank had to be large and on the 749 was 55 US gals for each engine.
