Here's what's needed for the non-turbo 997's

. There you go folks! Measurements differ between models. And just for those who might buy old school oil-cooled cars,1. Engine/oil at normal operating temp
2. WHILE IDLING, measure the oil level

Correct. 5 seconds cold and 5 minutes hot. Not sure how anyone is getting instant readings. Draining the majority of the oil back into the sump takes more than a few minutes. Anyone that changes their own oil can attest to that.

Just wondering why it was not like that before.... Less than 10 seconds to about 40 secs to a minute is quite a gap. Im now thinking that it could be related to engine servicing because im nearing 10k km on the year on march...i think. Is the oil measuring affected by oil viscosity? New oil shorter inteval, old oil longer interval...

Brother jh surely has great memory. Forgot about that... Lol but i did not add that to the porsche. I put that in the mb and the dipstick is still as fast in showing its contents! The p car has original mobil 1 from the dealer. We can scratch that one out of the list.
