Display and measurement of the engine oil level
Risk of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.fRegularly check the oil level each time before refueling.fDo not allow the oil level to fall below the minimum mark.
Prerequisites for the oil-level gauge:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Switch off engine, which is at operating temperature.3. Wait for approx. 1 minute. 4. Select the “Oil measurement” function on the multi-function display.
Selecting the Oil measurement function on the multi-function display
fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Example displays for oil level A - Maximum oil level reached B - Minimum oil level reached C - Oil level below minimum D - Oil level above maximum
Measured oil level
The oil level reading is shown on the segment display in the Oil measurement menu.
If the segments are filled in green up to the top line (illustration A), the oil level has reached the maximum mark.fUnder no circumstances add engine oil.
If the bottom segment is shown in yellow (illustration B), the oil level has reached the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level minimum reached Refill oil ” appears on the multi-function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
If the bottom segment is red (illustration C), the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark.
The message “ Oil level below min. Refill oil at once Do not drive on ” appears on the multi- function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and maximum marks on the segment display is approx. 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).fNever add more engine oil than required to reach the maximum mark.
If the segments are shown in yellow up to the top edge (illustration D), this indicates that the maximum engine filling capacity has been exceeded. Exceeding the maximum capacity may result in blue smoke formation and cause long-term damage to the catalytic converters depending on the overfill quantity and various external influences.
If too much engine oil was added, the message “ Oil level above maximum Consult a workshop Driving permitted ” appears on the multi-function display.fHave the oil quantity corrected at the next opportunity.Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
1. Main menu “Vehicle” Select > “ Oil measurement” and confirm.

228 Maintenance and Car Care
Information
It is important that the service intervals, particularly the oil change intervals, are observed in accordance with the specifications in the “Maintenance” booklet.
Refueling
The RF energy from a cellphone can cause a sparking on bare metal, much like aluminum foil in a microwave oven. The spark could ignite gasoline fumes present while refueling.fDo not use a cellphone while pumping gas.
Static discharge from your body can ignite gasoline fumes present when you get back out of the vehicle and touch the fuel nozzle.fDo not re-enter the vehicle while pumping gas.
1. Stop the engine and switch off the ignition. 2. Open the filler flap by pressing on the rear part of the filler flap ( arrow). The vehicle must be unlocked.
3. Slowly open and remove the tank cap. Put the tank cap into the holder ( arrow). 4. Insert the pump nozzle fully into the filler neck. The handle of the pump nozzle must point downwards.
Total capacity – approx. 18.0 US gallons (68 liters), including approx. 3.17 US gallons (12 liters) reserve
