checking oil level
Hello:
I have 2008 Cayenne S and wondering whether I can check the oil level from inside the car or I have to pop the hood and chk with the dip stick?
Thanks

You should have both. A gauge in the cluster in your info center before you start it and under the hood.

This is news to me. I know the 911 has it inside the cluster as well but definitely not the '08+ models.

Thank you for all the response.
I know my 966TT has it and it is 2002. I thought that I might missed on the Cayenne so I ask.
I guess the only way to chk the oil level on the Cayenne is with the dip stick =)
