My only issues so far are the rolling sounds in he doors and squiking that became more obvious after a fast ride in the hill country with uneven roads. I'm taking my car for the mesh placement hand sharwerk bypass. So I'm going to ask then to tighten those bolts

In the photo it looks like the oil and water temp are both at ~80C, so close enough.

Mine was down to the last green segment at around that mileage as well, so I went and bought some oil as I figured I'd need to top up soon, however the next time I checked a hundred or so kilometres later, it was back up to the next segment.
I've since put on another 1000km and it still hasn't told me to add oil and each time I try to check the level it gives me the no info available message

I'm sure it will tell me when it wants some

Good to know as mine sapphire blue will live in Seattle as a DD and occasional track car. Wife wants me to keep the 997.1 GT3 I have had for 2 years.

After 650 miles, water temp runs about 15 deg. higher than my '11 Carrera S, and TPMS reads 2 lbs high vs. my trusty tire gauge which is right on with Carrera S.

Wow, that's great your wife WANTS you to keep the 997....the only reason my wife isn't all over me to sell something is I think she has lost count of the cars sitting around our garages. Not sure if she notices anymore when a new addition appears ha ha

all newer Porsches have higher water temp from what I understand. It is for emissions, they run hotter.
