I don't know. I'm not employed with him or his company. Maybe you should send him an email asking him to post a video? It says on the YouTube site to contact Jud with questions. Good luck!

I had a similiar tic about a year ago, worried me to death. It was one of the cats! Don't know if they wear out by miles or age 05 4s (I'm over 100k). Put on high flo cats, wow what a difference ( sound especially)

To avoid risks of overfilling the car with oil and to prevent damage to the AOS, it's best keep the oil level at the middle of the indicator. When a Porsche 996 is at the (BOTTOM) of the indicator, that means it's only 1 liter low on oil. At that point, it's best to add 1/2 of one quart of oil to the car.

It's a pretty common consensus among those within the Porsche world, that there are more risks associated overfilling a Porsche than under if it's it's a "little low" on the electronic indicator. I've personally witnessed someone that killed a M97 motor by mistakenly overfilling it. The gentlemen checked the oil when the car was on uneven payment and then did the stupid thing by adding more oil thus overfilling it. He then went to drive it and as you may suspect, killed the motor. He ended up not servicing it because of the extremely high repair costs.

So I checked the owner's manual and wasn't able to find this anywhere. Do you have a page number, or section?
As long as I don't fill it "over" the line, I'm going to keep it there. If I do one of my 400 mile drives out in the hill country and use 1/2 qt of oil, that would put me at the bottom line.
The top line is where I'll keep it.
