jim o'hara Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) just looking for some advice 987.1/2.7 5 speed bought the car 2 years ago and it had just had a minor service oil level read to the MAX, by that I mean the line above the max line didnt realise until some time after that this is reading as overfilled anyway, just had a major done, and its exactly the same again checked with my indie and they said they put the correct amount of oil in any advice appreciated thanks Edited October 20, 2022 by jim o'hara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 As per the owners manual assume you are checking it when cold and it's on level ground ? Each segment is 0.4 litres If you're not happy take it back and get them to check it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Seems like an Indy change might be more appropriate. if it’s reporting it’s overfilled then they haven’t put the right amount in. They are attempting to fob you off in my opinion. Mistakes happen but BS isn’t necessary or productive. if you aren’t happy. Go back.

Each segment is 0.4 litres I did my own oil change last time and measured the oil that went in. Even when parking in the same spot on my drive (gravel, so the car actually sits in the same depressions) it can read full on some days and just over the top on others. Try parking in a few “level” places and check again when cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
