The second times the charm

That level looks A OK to me. Check the physical dipstick now and see where it reads. It should be somewhere just below the 'full' notch.

Looks good to me! If you are trying to get it to the top line with the arrow every time all the time you can drive yourself nuts.

These gauges are pretty well known for being inaccurate. Both my Boxster and Carrera will fluctuate one or two bars. I understand that it can be difficult to see the oil on a dipstick but it's really the best way to measure the amount of oil in the engine. If you have a hard time seeing it use a white paper towel to put the dip onto see the oil level.

The fuel gauge is even worse.

I just meant that its weird to see it drop 4 bars after emptying 1 filter canister of oil. I'm gonna let it settle for awhile and then check it both ways.

Thanks
