Again hard to believe the differences in consumption. Oddly at the start of the post oil consumtion was high, then as the post grew the oil consumtion got very low, now it seems to be lowering somewhat again. That is simply an observation, however there has been no mention , at least I think, to the introduction of synthetic oil to these older engines, many posts talk of increased leaking problems when switched from dino oil, why would not the same pertain to oil consumption?? If the logic is that synthetic oil passes more easily through smaller opennings, would not the same be true with the rings, valves etc.? Also mentioned several times, what is leaked vs consumed, or as porsche owners are they one in the same? I held out on synthetic, but my mechanic changed it with synthetic by accident, charged me for it, but I must say the little dops on the floor have increased.
