how long does it take to checking oil level

Consult the manual as all depends on MY...

My 986 it varied... could be 6sec, 2min, 24min or even 60min as I recall. Mid 9x6 they changed a bit I think and then again with 9x7... and again on the 9x7.2 with intro of DFI. Now, many of the newest Porsches require motor at operating temperature, vehicle on a level surface. engine running for 2min.

Wonder what the requirements will be in the Taycan

Mine in the morning first stsrt takes 20 seconds maybe, if i stop and restart can be 5 minutes. I checked the manual and waiting fir the oil check to eprun really isnt required other than first start up of the day.

I actually love the fact its one less major thing to worry about in the Taycan. Of course, a lot of things aside from the powertrain still remain. The downside is, I think this might be the tipping point of where we will really rely on the dealership for servicing. Specialized tech's are part of it from what I read.

The best way to check oil level in a 986 is to allow the engine to warm up to 180+ degrees. Next drive at 3000 rpm or less to your next stop to allow oil to drain out of heads to sump. Park on level surface & the longer you wait to check oil with dipstick a little more oil will drain into pan.
I don't rely on the dash gauge but I do check it when I restart the engine after getting gas. I have the FVD deep oil pan so I deduct 1 quart from max capacity.
