Okay I know your new so don't take this the wrong way but stop F'ing aroud with this car ... Oil pressure has noting to do with oil level , that is indicative of the pump , bearings oil temp , etc.

1. get a big pan , drain all the oil and start over ... consider the cost of oil the price of your first leson
2. Park the car until you get either a manual or some help from an experienced owner.

You don't say where you are .. why not post a pic tell us a bit about you and maybe a lister lives close by that could go over some basics with you .

Good luck

I am really scared!!!

added 5 quarts!!!

you realize the oil is checked WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING.... I would never let mine get down that low...if its 5 (or 4) over dont start it!! i would not....you need to have a new base line in this case. Remove all oil (if you lman to re-use make sure its in a clean bucket)

drain both plugs and fill with 10 quarts

drive till warm and SLOWLY fill to the line (I normally run about midway between the two or just at the point where my level guage is bouncing at idle)

ivangene

and for the record, we are here to help... its OK everyone makes mistakes... you did good in asking!!

What ivangene said. You may need to take a week off (yes a week full of topic readings) to research be type oil you put back in there.

thank you everyone for the information. Much appreciated. I own a 1996 911 C2 Cab. with 50,000 miles. It doesnt get driven very much.

and there is always a quart or two you never get out of all the lines and cooler.

Yes you can over fill one a bunch.
