After an oil change on my 04 996 gt3 I wanted to double check the oil level
with the dip stick and although the electronic gauge showed full ( and it was as
I put a little bit more than 8.5 litters of mobile 1 in the engine ), the dip stick was
dry.After a 2 hours drive it was showing only minimum , electronic still at full .
Any experience to share on that ? Thanks !

 

No - but I am interested in the replies as I tend to rely on the electronic almost exclusively (2007)

 

Here's a good resource for the 997 GT3, the 996 should be similar.

 

Thanks a lot for this but it's not exactly my case.
The electronic reading is correct but the dip stick is dry .After 2 hours drive the dip stick is showing minimum ( better than nothing ), electronic still at full ! 997 have no dip stick anymore , am I right ? All those readings were made " by the book " , and as I was told by
Porsche , the reading is measured in the oil tank for both , so the mystery remains...

 

Sorry, just trying to help. I just picked up my 7.1 GT3 a couple days ago, so not sure if it has a dipstick. Maybe try posting your question over at Rennlist 996 GT3 section.

 

You don't have to be sorry , thanks a lot for your answer .I already post on rennlist but up to
now no satisfactory answer .
Kind regards.

 

When fully warmed up, my electronic gauge shows full and my dipstick shows right at the middle mark. Just FYI.
