I just got my GT3 4 days ago and haven't had much time to drive. I have about 90 miles on the beast and wanted to check the oil level as outlined in the manual (why don't these cars have a simple dipstick?).

It won't measure oil level and instead I keep getting "Failure oil level indicator" message on the on-board computer display.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kevin

Sound like a dealer issue to me, take it in , Quick

Sounds like you have a malfunction -- not user error. A dealer will have to sort it out.

Yes, the lack of a simple dipstick in a Porsche is inexcusable. It's BMW-esque...

deutschmick, my car arrived at dealer 2 weeks ago, cant pass PDI, same problem, Failure oil level indicator,when is ur 3's built date?

Not sure of build date but VIN 3172. Oil pressure and temp are normal per the gauges and there is no "check engine oil level/engine oil pressure too low" idiot light that should illuminate for these scenarios.

I suspect a software problem but it's now too late to contact the dealer for advice. Thanks for responses so far.

Tubescreamer as in Ibanez? If I could only have one pedal that would be it.

Thanks to all who responded. Turned out to be a defective oil level sender. Since I line in the boonies the car had to ride a flatbed on 9/24 to the nearest dealer (approx. 100 miles away).

I picked up the car on 9/30 and all is well. At first I was informed that the part had to be special ordered from Germany which would take at least a week in transit. Fortunately I was later told that the necessary item was on an earlier parts shipment. Hopefully this info may help if anyone out there has a similar problem.
