Oil measurement level

Can't remember my 997 but on my current 996, I turn the key in the morning, the measurement process starts and I get a reading in 4-5 seconds.

997.2 needs to be hot and while engine running. but once up to proper temps, its only a matter of seconds for the car to review how much oil it has.
If it's low or feels lower than what you're comfortable with - top 'er off.
