Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Now that you have added the oil, go for a drive and let the car come up to temperature, so a nice 15-20 min drive so the oil circulates around the system properly, and then check the oil level on the dash.

Apparently you need to just let it run stationary for a few minutes and it resets itself.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oil light just came on in my 992 GTS (May 2022), showing it being 'min' and referencing adding a max of 1.3 litre. I have the relevant Mobile Oil advised, and have added 1 litre and the message is still showing, and the app is still showing oil level as minimum. I'd been out this morning in the car prior to putting the oil in, so assume I need to let it all cool down and the levels settle, before checking again, but assumed the additional added oil would remove the warning light immediately.

POST 2Original post

It's not as straight forward with the Porsche system I believe on the 992. Now that you have added the oil, go for a drive and let the car come up to temperature, so a nice 15-20 min drive so the oil circulates around the system properly, and then check the oil level on the dash. It should read fine then.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah sorted. Spoke to the dealer. Apparently you need to just let it run stationary for a few minutes and it resets itself.

POST 4Original post

Be wary about adding more than 0.5l at any time (despite what it tells you). I have been caught out by it then saying the oil level is too high!

POST 5Original post

I had to add a liter of oil to my 992, 4 years ago when it was on about 8,000 miles. Over the last 50,000 miles it hasnt used a drop between oil changes. Must have been the rings bedding in.
