Down 3 ticks from April oil change normal?

[RandallNeighbour]

1 bar - 1 cup (NOT QUART) of oil ... According to the High Priest of Boxster Forums and my idol, Tool Pants

If you checked it hot at a gas station fill up and it was one bar down, it probably didn't need any oil. The quart you put in will be burned off... don't make a habit of this though. It's expensive and probably not good for your engine.

(Tom, he might not have a manual in which to look!)

Assuming you don't have one, order a manual from your parts counter or better yet, Sunset Porsche as it will be far cheaper... I learned all sorts of stuff when I got mine and it was the best $35 I spent on my Boxster thus far.

Ya i bought my Box used last year and it didn't come with an owners manuel. I have always meant to get one, but just never got around to it.

3 bars or "ticks" would be about a half quart of oil and it is normal for the engine to consume that much in the time/mi you quoted.
