Hello All!

A couple of problems/questions: So, I have a '98 Boxster...when I go to fill up the gas tank, the oil light tells me that my oil level is a couple of bars below the fill line, (that being the first line under the too full line); when I turn the car off, and check the light that way, it shows I am full to the exact place I should be. Help? I am having a terrible time determining the oil level on the dipstick; dunno if my eyes are going or what. Gas mileage hasn't dropped; car running perfectly. I understand that, if the oil check light is malfunctioning, an idiot light will come on and say so. Anyone? Help! Thanks!
