Oil level display operating instructions ?
Hello,I have just installed a 997 RSR oil level display on my Cup S, and I must say that I do not really understand how it works or should work.I have found the two brightness buttons (easy ones :-P), but the % value is very fluctuent, with the engine at idle, between 60 & 100 %. I also have a "table underflow" message in what seems to be an error page, and several other % value that I do not know the purpose.Would anyone have a manual for this device, or some explanations on how it works ?Thanks in advance for any helpCedric

FROM 997 CUP Manual (basically no instructions at all):

Many many thanks for all these inputs. I had read the rsr manual, but didn't have the other ones. I guess the 997 cup manual is a 997.2 cup one ?
I seem to have an error message code 16, but no documentation for it...
I have asked Porsche Motorsport Germany, and they sent me the 07' rsr manual which is... Well.... pretty useless...

I don't have any instructions for it, but when I do an oil change (very soon) I am going to check those numbers to see if they match what I put in the tank.
Plus make a calibration table for the Motec Dash. So if anybody wants it let me know. It is already pre-wired into the dash on pin 1 (AV15 in the dash). Id assume Cup S will be the same as Cup R

BTW, these displays are roughly $3800 US; Ph.D. in Mathematics not included.

My car had one of these units. Interestingly, it was mounted where the driver couldn’t see it but was plainly visible from the passenger side for the pit crew to see during a stop. It’s my understanding these are primarily intended for endurance events (6-24 hr), where the oil level can be checked and topped off as needed during a pit stop.

I have a calibration for the dash to log the oil level percent, I confirmed it was pretty accurate today. I am just swapping over to a new laptop so once that is complete I can provide it to whoever wants it.
However, I did spend about 4hrs figuring out why I was not getting the data in the dash initially. I traced it to a wiring issue, or perhaps Porsche did not connect the wires into plugs. Either way I solved it. If you would like a copy, you can send me a photo of a specific plug and I can tell you if it is ready to go or not. (providing you have enough dash inputs or the option has been enabled in the dash.)
