The last time I checked my oil - a couple weeks ago, it was at near the middle of the good range.

So, I added 1 qt and retested, and now it says it's one bar over (all bars filled).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
Just hit the 1350 mile mark on my CS. My wife and I took the car on a short road trip (about 580 miles round trip) this weekend to Horsham PA. I checked the oil last night and the level read at one bar down. My understanding is each segment is equal to .4 liter, or 13.5 oz. Because I am a conservative person I added 8 oz. of 0W-40 Mobil One and checked the level. I found the level was now perfect, boy am I glad I did not add more oil than 8 oz. Anyone else have this experience, are the increments always this misleading? I am interested in others experiences with the oil level diagram. Thanks in advance !!

There are a bunch more. Those guys from a few months ago put up some good info, no?
2007, 2.7,, 6660 miles..Oil level bar is one or two bars down from day to day week to week. Most of the time it is one bar down. Checked evey (EVERY!) morning as I fasten my seatbelt, on level ground in my garage.
However! we just got back from a weeks vacation and oil level is on the top bar, full. I have not added any oil since day one.
I want a dipstick!!
Several threads on this subject. I have decided to not worry till I get the same reading for 5 days in a row.
Good luck. The Cayman is a great ride!
My oil level indicator today showed only 1 bar (and I think it was flashing). I drove around a little, let it rest, checked again, and still one bar. So, I added 1 qt and retested, and now it says it's one bar over (all bars filled). The last time I checked my oil - a couple weeks ago, it was at near the middle of the good range. What happened? Was the indicator wrong? Will I be ok with that much oil? If not, what should I do? I need an oil change soon anyway... but am still curious what happened to the oil level.
Check it again in the a.m. when the engine is cold. That will give the best chance of a correct reading. You are o.k. with that small amount of an overfill if it is an over fill. Curious. Let us know.
Did you take all these measurements at the same spot? Hopefully a level driveway. I've seen variations of 1 bar on mine due to the angle the car.
Otherwise, have you noticed any oil spots on the ground or excess smoke from the engine?
