Oil refill indicator at 6500km - Panamera oil refill procedure summary

Porsche Maintenance Costs

Oil level drop

The other day, I was driving a Panamera Turbo when suddenly this display appeared at the meter.

Oil level drops!

I thought you just changed it the last time you had 1000km on the odometer.Is it bad?It stops immediately!What am I supposed to do!"I was so flustered that I texted my husband at work without thinking. He immediately replied.

Roger, Porsche cars lose a lot of weight when they are new. The Boxster also went out at about 1000 km. But it won't go down soon. I'll refill it. According to the manual, oil consumption up to 0.8L/1,000 km is normal.When the vehicle is new, it is necessary to perform a break-in operation to familiarize the moving parts with each other. The break-in period is required until the vehicle has traveled 3,000 km. During this period, oil and fuel consumption will be slightly higher than usual. The break-in period is called the "break-in period.It also states.

...Gyoi. In contrast to me, who is easily flustered, my husband is calm and logical at all times.

Oil and mileage topped up this time

So, I decided to change the oil over the weekend. By the way, the oil I put in my Panamera Turbo this time wasMobil 1 5W-50 Excellent Wear ProtectionThe following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

This oil is given every time you attend a Porsche Driving School.(My husband participates every year, so we have a lot of w's at home)This time the oil refill indicator appeared when the mileage was about 6500 km, and when I looked at the oil level, it displayed something like this.

Hoho, after confirming that it's min. and you want me to put it up to max....

Summary of 7 oil replenishment procedures

(1) Run lightly to warm up the engine.

My husband drove around the neighborhood for a couple of minutes first, because it seems that if the engine is cold, it may not be described correctly.

(2) Turn off the engine once

If you don't turn off the engine, when you open the hood and open the oil filler cap, phew! and air would come out. I was in a great hurry because this actually happened.

(3) Pull the lever next to the accelerator.

(4) Open the hood.

Insert your hand here and pull the lever hard to the side to open it.

(5) Take off the lid of the oil supply port.

When enlarged, it looks like this.

It looks a little hard to turn in a man's hand.(Although, I was in charge of taking pictures and carrying my second daughter, so I couldn't help.)

(6) Refill oil

This oil comes in 1L bottles, so I thought I would have to keep refilling two bottles, but when I had filled one liter, my husband saidThen let's fire it up and see what happens."I started to say.It says refill with 2 liters, so why don't you just refill with 2 liters at once?"if it were the case that

That's not good. The amount of oil must be between min. and max. On the other hand, if the max. is exceeded, it may cause a malfunction, so it is better to check the oil level when 1 liter is added.

He said.

Oh, really? So.

(7) Start the engine and check the display.

However, the display does not reflect the oil as soon as I put it in. I said, "Maybe it's because our parking lot is a little slanted, or maybe I should wait longer..." But the display didn't change, so my husband went for a quick drive around the neighborhood again, but it still didn't show up.... After waiting for a while, the display finally changed like this.

After confirming that it was exactly half, we repeated the same process again and eventually successfully refilled the 2L.

Oh finally. So, right after the oil change that day, I drove about 100 km to my parents' house to visit the graves on the far shore and whatnot, and had no problems at all. So, that was the whole oil refill summary.
