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.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hello! So, driving with my son earlier this week to the grocery store. We parked and went in, everything was good to go. We're in there for roughly 20 minutes, come out to start, and warning light comes on saying oil level is low. I immediately shut it off and check the oil; it's a little above the halfway mark. I drive home slowly and gentle (only a couple of miles) so I can look at it. If I went too hard around a turn, smoke would come out of the exhaust , similar to what it does on a cold start. As soon as I straightened back out, it stopped immediately. I let it sit for a day, checked the oil level and check for leaks, and nothing. Oil level is showing normal. Haven't driven it since, although I'll be changing the oil tomorrow. Any ideas? Below is a pic showing full oil level. thank you!

POST 2Original post

What year and model is your car? Perhaps your level sensor is malfunctioning. Definitely collect an oil sample as it pours out for possible analysis. One school of thought is that we don't want the oil level to be at full bars as you've shown but ideally closer to 3/5 bars.

POST 3Original post

the fact that it smokes when you turn might be an indication that its overfull? Have you checked under your oil cap for milkshake type residue?

POST 4Original post

The photo definitely shows overfill, which could explain smoking on turns. Any level between the two arrows is in the normal range. More background would help. Was oil added recently? How long since last oil change? It is also possible there's some contaminant that is collecting in the oil pan. Coolant or condensation come to mind.

POST 5Original post

Remove the oil filter and empty the canister, start the engine and measure it again, if still on the top mark repeat the step until you are one bar below the maximum mark as you could damage your AOS (air/oil separator)

POST 6Original post

Please read: Before posting a technical question -- PLEASE READ! We're lacking some vital info here - year/model of your 987. There are differences in both how the oil level is read, and how the AOS works between 987.1 and 987.2 cars.

POST 7Original post

One thing of note as well as between a 987.1 , 987.2 and also our Cayenne , each bar was roughly 1/3 of a qt. Not highly precise, but helps prevent overfill.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
