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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting Question My Oil Level guage in the car show FULL (Actually 1 bar over!!) Dip the Oil and it shows half way down Does it need resetting - Have just reset my iCarsoft i960 Scanner and resetter THe car is on a slight slope (Title edited to read 996 and not 966 !! [ ])

POST 2Original post

The gauges and dipstick are very sensitive to vehicle inclination, so it is always best to check and compare on level ground.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thought so - thanks How long should I leave the car before I read the Oil Level These Porsche are strange beasts arn't they

POST 4Original post

The count-down timer should tell you when it is OK. I always used to check mine while it was in my garage before I started the engine, first thing in the morning, as it would display the reading within a few seconds. I know you are supposed to do after the oil has got hot, and then left to drain back into the sump, but I felt I got more consistent readings doing it from cold.
