Left the office for home (30 miles), parked the car in the garage, waited when the car was warm, then I checked. I'll do your method....which is waiting for 20 minutes tomorrow. If I continue to consume oil, I'll probably switch brand (Amsoil or Motul). If I continue to use oil, I may have the dealer perform a compression and leakdown. I know that on Porsches, it is normal to use 1 qt every 1K miles (to my recollection). But on the Z, I do not know the norm. I will also check the manual to see if there is a norm. |
