hi

i changed the oil in my 997.1 gt3 rs this evening, removed both drain plugs and took the filter out, i measured the oil that came out and was about 10.5 -11 litres. the gauge was reading over maximum, but not flashing before the change.

i put 9litres back in as suggested by the manual and the computer level is indicating over the maximum reading.

have read about an 11 litre dry fill, or 9 litre service fill. don't tend to trust the computer, so was wondering what people think?

oil sensor not working?

overfilled previously - but thought overfill but 1.5-2 litres might have caused a problem, or made the max level reading flash?

thanks in advance

The dash gauge always seems inconsistent to me. You put enough oil in, don't worry, drive it for a bit and check again next week is what i would do..
 
+1...if you do suffer the misfortune of a slight overfilling of oil, just don't
panic when you're leaving the James Bond style smoke screen behind you.
I did just that Twenty five years ago with an old 911SC Sport, and wow the
lack of visibility behind me was quite extraordinary...surprised that I didn't
get a pull...lol 8)

Ps, to cause that much smoke, it was a fair bit over filled though.
I got the car home and drained some off the following day.
 
right, problem sorted :roll:

should learn to measure properly, realised that was only about 9.5 litres that came out, so slightly over filled but not a problem, expecting that after a drive or 2 the level will settle down to max on the computer as have put 9 litres in yesterday.

thanks for replies folks :thumb:
