I check the oil level once or twice a week, about as often as my wife lets me drive the car.

We've got about 1200 miles on our Turbo. Today the oil level dropped down a single notch from the top ("full") level to the segment immediately below. It's still well into the green.

Good to Know only addresses what to when the level reaches the minimum, yellow mark -- mentioning to add the amount of oil indicated on the instrument cluster.

I'd rather not wait that long. I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a definite, measurable oil volume between the green striations? And if so, what that volume might be?

I mentioned in another thread I'm a little OCD. What I meant is, I'm a LOT OCD. So if you can help a brother out, please do.

Thanks, fellow Rennlisters.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. If you had a real dipstick you probably wouldn't do anything. Our old Cayenne and current Macan usually need a quart here and there, which we added once the level got to the lower limit.

If you really want to do something, you could do an early or mid point oil change.

 

 

If you're really OCD like you said you are, I would suggest that you download the Connect app on your phone. You can check oil levels as much as your cell phone data plan allows (and, to sound a bit creepy, maybe her locations too)

 

Not to hijack the thread, where did you find the oil capacity? I couldn't find it in the owners manual. Any idea what the amount would be to change the oil with a new filter?

 

On the 958 series - every segment = 250ml (1/4 liter). I'd assume the same on the new ones.
