Oil Gauge level
 

Where should it be at idle? I'm right at 2, is that too low to run on?

Mine normally drops to around 2 at idle when oil is hot.

As long as it goes up as your RPM's increase, you are prob fine.

And just to be clear for other readers. This is not a "gauge level" (as in how much oil do I have) but it is representing the oil pressure...

~2 at idle is normal, goes up as RPM goes up... :)

When you start up the car the little oil gauge to the right shows the oil level fyi

Hum :confused:,
I'm pretty sure that the needle doesn't have the ability to represent the oil level. I can't find anything to that effect in the owner's manual either.

I thought I remembered a needle to show the level on 993 but pretty sure it's not on a 996...

not the gauge to the right, but the oil level indicator that comes up on the screen just left of the oil pressure gauge on the bottom
