How to Check the Oil Level in a Porsche 718?
2 Answers
The method to check the oil level in a Porsche 718 is as follows: View it on the dashboard using the vehicle's computer selection lever (located below the turn signal switch). The selection lever has four directions: up, down, forward, and backward. Up and down are for 'select,' forward for 'enter' (confirm), and backward for 'escape' (exit selection). Find the oil level option to check. The Porsche 718 is equipped with four engines in total: a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine.
As a long-time Porsche 718 owner, I always check the oil level myself after maintenance. This car uses an electronic display system instead of a traditional dipstick, which is quite convenient. First, park on level ground and start the engine to warm it up until the coolant temperature gauge reaches around 90 degrees, which takes about ten minutes of driving. Then turn off the engine and wait patiently for five minutes to let the oil drain back to the oil pan. Next, press the start button to power on (without pressing the brake) and use the right steering wheel controls to navigate to the oil level option in the menu. The screen will display a bar graph, and the level should normally be between min and max. If it shows 'preparing,' you may need to restart the engine and repeat the steps. Remember, never check on a slope or when the engine is cold, as the reading will be inaccurate.
