What's the normal Oil Temperature range?
I am still breaking in my 2006 997S and it has 1200 miles. On freeway driving it ranges from 200 to 225 degree F. Is that normal? I know 996 usually runs at 180-190 degree F. BTW, after 1200 miles, the oil level went down one bar. I guess that is normal. Right? Thanks in advance.

Perfectly normal. Mine is running a tad over 200. You should expect to burn a quart of oil or so during the break in. When you get to the bottom line add 1/2 quart.

The 996 temps you are stating sound like coolant
BTW:
The 996 has NO Oil Temp gauge but a Voltmeter
The 997 has a Oil Temp gauge but NO Voltmeter

Anybody know if there is a way to display the charging volts though some display selection of the OBC? I thought I had read somewhere that you can do that. Sure would be nice to know if the charging system is functioning properly.

205 - 215 F @ ambient temperatures between 35 and 90 F, during normal cruise. When pushing it, the temp can drift to 230 F.
Coolant is rock steady at 175 F, during any condition.
