At this point I would flat bed it to the dealer. No offense but he sounds like a novice DYI'er and I would hate for him to attempt any troubleshooting going forward as he might do more harm then good. Good luck!

 

I dont train turbos' i put 7qts fist, even if its half way less, so what, i let the car warm up, go around the block. pull in, check. add. I always leave one or two bars from the top showing empty--- better than overfill.

IF i were you i would probably drain some oil. also check your lower intercooler pipes from turbos, you probably have
some oil there just chilling.

I have no idea> how people even change sparkplugs with the bumper on---- you have sparkplug sheilds, etc. removing real bumper is easy, just few screws here and there.

like people posted above, always check, read, study, before you attempt anything.
We have plenty of articles.DIY'S here floating around and tons of friendly people that can help you.

 

after reading , what?!?

see this picture: -thats where drains are

 

Gold Standard Whey FTW

 

After seeing the 997 engine in parts I first drain the used oil, measure the amount of oil in the drain pan by filling up old gallon plastic water containers that I use for disposal, and put in the same amount of fresh oil back in minus 1/2 a quart.

The Porsche mechanic at the dealer really proved his point after showing me that engine!

 

Might be a trick of the light, that was the new oil the guys tech had put in !!!!

 

We have had several in like this and after a good clean they have all been fine, one guy even drove 60 miles to us with it overfilled the same.

 

Left arrow crankcase, right arrow the dry sump oil tank - brace the drain bolt with a wrench or you risk trashing the tank (24mm?). To the far right and not highlighted you can see the passenger side turbo reservoir, there's one on the driver's side too. I drained all of the above for mine.

 

BLKMGK - that is true, on the sump oil tank you need to use 2 wrenches, otherwise you may trash that oil tank , and it might snap, depends how tight the bolt sits ! always use one hand to hold the wrench and use the other hand to unscrew the bolt.

 

You would think they would have braced the tank better= is an accident waiting to happen if you don't use two wrenches.

 

It's sheet metal and the tutorial I read before changing mine cautioned me to do this and when I got under there I could understand why! I had to use an adjustable wrench it was so big but I kept the drain bolt from twisting anything.

 

An experienced tech would recognize this immediately. And Porsche dry sump tanks have been around since 1963.

It is not a Daihatsu. DIYers coming from that level vehicle and the average Jiffy Lube tech are out of their league. Not accepting this is an accident waiting to happen.

 

Its an accident waiting to happen if you DONT USE TWO WRENCHES that is a fact.

 

I agree, let someone who knows these cars get it back to 'correct', then (with all due respect) reconsider doing more DIY'ing or not.

 

Sadly I agree with above comments, doesn't sound like doing your own maintenance is a good idea.
