Engine oil
It is normal for your engine to consume oil.
The rate of oil consumption depends on the
quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which
the engine is operated, the climate, road con-
ditions as well as the amount of dilution and
oxidation of the lubricant.
Because of these variables, no standard rate
of oil consumption can be established, but
drivers should expect an increased oil con-
sumption at high speeds and when the engine
is new.
• The engine in your vehicle depends on
oil to lubricate and cool all of its moving
parts. Therefore, the engine oil should
be checked regularly and kept at the re-
quired level.
• Make it a habit to have the engine oil
level checked with every fuel filling.
• Lack of sufficient engine oil may lead to
severe engine damage.
• The oil pressure warning light is not an
oil level indicator.
Checking oil level
To get a true reading, the car should be on
level ground. After turning off the engine, wait
a few minutes for the oil to return to the oil sump.
1.. Pull out dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
2. Reinsert dipstick; push it in all the way for
an accurate reading.
3. Pull dipstick out again. The oil level is cor-
rect if it is between the "max" und "min"
marks on the dipstick.
4. If oil level is below " m i n " mark, or not
showing on dipstick, add oil immediately.
The difference between the two marks is about
1.6 U.S. qt. or 1.5 liter.
Should the engine oil level be too low, the
central warning light and the engine oil
level warning light will flash as soon as the
ignition is turned on (see "Central warn-
ing light system"). Do not start the engine
but add oil immediately or contact your
Porsche dealer.
See "Cautions"
Adding engine oil
Only add the amount of oil that is needed. The
correct oil grade and viscosity recommenda-
tion is given under "Engine Oils".
1. Remove oil filler cap (arrow).
2. Top up with quality oil labeled "API Service
SF or SE".
3. Check oil level on dipstick - upper mark
should not be exceeded.
4. Replace cap and tighten.
WARNING
The oil filler cap must be secure to avoid
oil spill causing fire hazard.
