My gauge doesn't budge so I have to use the dipstick, which is bloody hard to see...

Do not use some run of the mill 0W-40 or 10W-30 oil. They are the wrong weight to begin with. Mobil 1 and the likes are generally not good for these cars (except Mobil 1's V-Twin formula). Get some 20W-50 (unless you run the car in really, really cold temps) that has the proper amount of ZDDP to protect your air-cooled the engine.

Technically, you did nothing "wrong," but you posted the same question under the same title in two different threads about 10 minutes apart. I'm assuming that you were anxious for a response and when one didn't come immediately after your initial post, you re-posted your question.
While this is probably the most responsive board online, response times will vary depending upon who's online and their experience and knowledge. Sometimes it takes only a few minutes, sometimes a few hours.
If you don't get a response and want to move the question back to the top of the queue, then open your thread, type "Bump" in the Quick Reply box and post the reply. This will bump it back to the top. However, doing this repeatedly is considered to be "bad form." Lack of response probably means you need to go to the "Search" function and do a little research.
There are very few 993 issues that haven't been posted here, so using the "Search" function can often be faster and more efficient than posting every little question. Be prepared to be flamed or ignored if you post a common knowledge question that can easily be answered by using "Search."
It also helps to list the year, mileage, and any work that may have been done related to the system that is giving you problems. That way, folks don't have to ask.
Hope this helps...
