12k miles here. She has been flawless in her performance. Had to top off oil just once. Curious how Gammaman knew that the oil level sensor was malfunctioning. Sometimes I worry if mine needs to be checked out as I read about how thirsty some other Cayennes could be.

The oil level was very erratic; at one point it read down a qt, so I added one and the gauge didn't change, same thing with 2nd qt so I added a 3rd and all of a sudden it's overfilled. That was when the dealer offered to flat bed it back to the shop, so at least they took care of me. One point that I still don't know is whether they changed the software when the owner's manual was revised to make it 2 qts from full to empty on the electronic dipstick, or if it should have been 2 qts. all along. At any rate, with 15k miles my oil consumption has definitely slowed down.

The steering wheel vibration is certainly felt at 1800 RPM. Does not bother me at all though. Thanks for the reply Gamma.
