no oil my porsche computer glitch
Guys, yesterday i received a message on my phone from my Porsche saying that my engine oil was low. When i checked the my Porsche site, it showed zero oil in my C4S with 300 miles. needless to say i was very concerned...i contacted my dealer and we went through several checks to see if the issue was real or a computer glitch of some sort. the computer on the car itself shows the oil level at the correct levels, but the my Porsche site still shows zero oil. obviously, the car's computer is correct and much more reliable. Have any of you experienced a similar issue? What actions did you take if any to correct this problem? Thanks for the assistance!!

Just checked my "My Porsche" app on my iPhone. Oil fill level IS on the app - but mine says "Oil Level Unknown - No Measurement". I haven't driven my car in probably a week so that doesn't surprise me. Is this what you are seeing OR does it say "No oil". Obviously, there's a difference in the meaning.

On the my Porsche application, it simply does not show any oil being present in the vehicle. It does not say no oil. However in the vehicle itself, it shows that it is completely full of oil

I occasionally get a unable to read oil level, or oil level not available. Usually goes away when you shut the engine off and restart. Digital gauge is nice, a dipstick is taking it over the top...

I realize that this is an old thread but had the same issue..."OilLevelUnknown - No Measurement" after I changed the oil. Many people, including SA, said that I had to drive 15 miles and it would reset...but it didn't. As a last resort, I used my Autel and cleared all the codes...voila, oil level came on like it always did....hope that helps some with the same "oil level unknown-no measurement" message.
