Having now 20.000 km (12500 miles) driven my Macan SD MY 2017.
My oil consumption is about 1 litre / 9000 km (0.22 gallons / 5500 miles).
Adblue consumption is 20 litre / 14000km (4.3 gallons / 8600 miles).

Would be pleased to hear what your numbers are.

At Porsche they told me that normal oil consumption is between 1 l / 5000-10000 km.
What I read Audi engines (SD engine) are famous for consuming a lot of oil.

Can’t recall the exact amounts but I did around 9000 miles in my first SD and only needed 1/2 litre to bring the electronic guage up to max at around 6000 miles. Not excessive to me.
I Put in 4 litres of adblue as a precaution prior to a trip to the Alps but there’s no way of knowing the exact level of adblue (until the car tells you there’s not much left!)

The ad blue thing is really bad. My wife's Land Rover lets you look up in the car's info menu how much is left. There is no way of knowing in the Macan. And I think you have to put in at least 5.5 litres to reset it it when it says it is running low. Not a good system.

My adblue warning came on in the S of France, just about to drive home. Should have been plenty of range to get me home but I chickened out and diverted into Reims OPC for fill up, very reasonable at only €32. SD now sold, no adblue or dpf concerns any more.

It comes on and then tells you how long you have to fillip - about 1000 miles from memory? I put in 20l at about 12k miles (I think) and it got topped up at 20k service.

On oil, I regularly check the electronic gauge, and it always told me there was enough, then all of a sudden I got an orange oil warning light which the supplied 1litre covered off. Oil usage on diesels is always heavy for the first 20k miles or so.

Still trying to work out how much adblue I use but I don't appear to use much. A top up once a year would do me (8,000 miles approx.)

Don't use much oil either. No warning for either.
