Hi,
I've got a Macan SD which about 8 months old.
I usually do 6-7k miles a year but in the past 2 weeks I've done about 900miles.
When I got home from a 200 mile drive this evening my display alerted me to low oil and asked me to put a litre of oil in.
I'm used to topping up oil with older cars but I didn't think I'd need to yet as the cars done under 5,500 miles.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal or not?
If it is that's fine, just want to be sure

I'd say that's perfectly normal. Diesels often take up to 12000 miles to fully run in and achieve peak piston ring sealing etc, so you may find it doesn't consume much more, if any, before its first service.martind21 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:12 pm Hi,

I had the same with my SD, The OPC Service dept said its normal and did a top up FOC, I had done about 8,000 miles, then did a further 10,000 and it needed another top up, dont think its anything to be concerned aboutmartind21 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:12 pm Hi,
