    That's a lot of oil. You sure it's burning it?

    yea I would think you are leaking...you should check.

    That amount of oil you would be dripping oil somewhere OR/and have a TON of black smoke out the exhaust..

    If you look at the other thread mentioned by the OP, the heads are already off and it definitely wasn't a leak...

    The clue was in the OP's first post in this thread:

    The highlighted part kind of gives it away! ;)

    well I have no idea how it could be burning that much oil every 100kms.

    but to my understanding perfectly normal to burn 2 liters every 2000miles.
    and says so in owners manual.

    and is exactly case on my 97gtb

    changed oil at dealer April 2015
    by August 2015 I had done approx 2,200 miles.
    and added exactly 2 liters to get the oil reading back to just above half way between min/max on dip stick.
