Default 911 owners: what's your oil level?

Where on the dipstick do you run your track 911?
I've always run around the bottom 10-20% of the dipstick. Your thoughts? Thanks!

Wouldn't have the slightest clue beyond a guess - as I can't see the oil smear on the stick worth a damn.

I run mine between a ¼ and ½ liter down from full on the stick. Seems to do better than full.

What is this "dipstick" you speak of?

I run mine at the low end of the dipstick, near the hole at the bottom. This helps to keep oil from flowing into the intake through the breather hose.

Thanks, all! Just wanted some reassurance!
