Digital oil measure

Is there another way to read the oil level without using the digital display?

Any one ever heard of the oil measuring digital display reading wrong oil levels. My buddies 996 turbo reads full (oil)...1 min later he takes another measure it reads low (oil) with the low bar flashing. Takes it again it reads full, and then 1 min later low again. At one point it read 1/2 full or empty...depending how you look at it. This is all done on a flat surface with the car running and warmed up. There is no consistency; the readings of low and full are inconsistent.

Thanks
Pete

forgot to mention...he flashed the computer (FVD) about a month ago. The battery was disconnected for a week and we believe that is when the problem started.

Might need to go to dealer/repair shop to find out. They should be close between each measurement. GL.

Fixed

We found it.....there is a sensor that sits on top of the oil fill tube...a wire was loose.
