Looks great! Love the black wheels and yellow calipers. FYI, yellow denotes Porsche Carbon Ceramic Breaks (PCCB) so be prepared to be asked a few times if you have them.

Also, you can't upload pics with the mobile app as far as I can tell. You have to use your browser to upload from your phone.

Ha, we're on the same path! I just looked this up:
With a warmed-up engine and at a speed of 5k rpm, the engine oil pressure should be approx 3.5 bar.

If the oil pressure drops abruptly and the warning light comes on while the engine is running or driving, bail the f.u.c.k out!

With the gauge provided by stock, it's not designed to show an excessively high pressure but a drop in the pressure... correct me if I'm wrong guys.

I had an oil pressure gauge on the evo, nice to see it stock on the 996 and not an add on!

On another note, I can't believe how much oil and coolant she takes!

Look superb - congrats. What rims are those?

5 bar at highway rpm is perfectly normal AFAIK
