Maintenance and Car Care
Checking Engine Oil Level
f
Check the oil level on the multi-function display
at regular intervals before refueling.
f
Please see the chapter “DISPLAY AND
MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL”
on page 101.
Engine oil is hazardous to your health and may be
fatal if swallowed.
f
Keep engine oil out of children's reach.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory animals.
f
Always protect your skin by washing
thoroughly with soap and water.
If you suspect an oil leak in the engine have your
authorized Porsche dealer check it out
immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and
maximum marks on the segment display is
approx. 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).
f
Never add more engine oil than required to
reach the maximum mark.
If the oil level is too low, this is indicated by the
oil-warning light on the multi-function display.
f
Add engine oil immediately.
f
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES”
on page 129.
Measuring the oil level after topping up
engine oil or opening the engine
compartment lid
The oil level can be checked after waiting for
approx. 1 minute with the vehicle parked on a level
surface and the engine at operating temperature.
If the engine compartment lid (Cabriolet
convertible-top compartment lid) is opened when
the engine is cold (e.g. in order to top up engine
oil), the oil level cannot be displayed for a certain
time.
The message “ No information about oil level
available at present
” appears on the
multi-function display.
f
Engine oil should therefore only be topped
up with the engine at operating temperature.
This ensures short waiting times for the
soonest possible oil level display.
Hands, fingers, items of clothing (ties, sleeves,
etc.), necklaces or long hair can be drawn in by
moving parts, e.g. the engine-compartment
blowers, drive belt, etc., when working in the
engine compartment.
The engine-compartment blowers are mounted
under the engine compartment lid.
After the engine is switched off, the engine
compartment temperature is monitored for
approx. 30 minutes.
During this period, and depending on
temperature, the engine-compartment blowers
may continue to run or start to run.
f
Carry out work in this area only with the engine
off and exercise extreme caution.
Risk of burns from hot parts in the engine
compartment.
f
Exercise extreme caution when working in the
engine compartment.
f
Please see the chapter “MEASUREMENTS ON
TEST STANDS” on page 221.
