Am new to the 997 scene, 2006 911C2. Can anyone describe the best way to check the oil level. Check with engine hot, running, cold. I know on level ground but what is best? Ignition on but engine not running? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I usually check when cold and flat level ground.
It shows the level just before I start the engine.

Level ground. 997.1 manual says to check cold. As in, having not been driven for many hours, such as overnight. I find if I check it after the car has been sitting 3-4 hours it still reads high. With all the high-tech aftermarket stuff they've invented for these cars, it surprises me nobody has come up with an aftermarket dipstick conversion.

Interestingly, 997.2 won't let you check cold. Must be warm.
