I am visiting a nearby city and the oil at minimum warning came on. I have a new Panamera turbo with about 1300 miles. What oil do I need to add and how much. Left the owner manual at home. I am in Texas.

Your urgent help is appreciated.

Mobil 1 for sure... 0W-40, according to the manual. 5W-40 as well if available.

I hope it's not too late.

 

Thanks a lot, not easy to find oil at 10pm. Luckily a local Walmart had 0W-40 Mobile one, thanks to the iphone. 1 qt brought it up to max.

 

awesome, glad this forum helped you out.

 

Even when it says its at minimum there's still enough oil left in the car. I asked this at the dealer. "Once the light is on saying minimum you have enough to go to the dealer" my dealer said. So no need to panic I assume. It was the same thing in my E60 M5. The oil capacity is 5 quarts if I'm not mistaken and you only top it off with 1 quart.

 

I bought one of those neat Porsche oil bags from Suncoast and keep a bottle of Mobil1 in my trunk now just in case I am far from home.

It's a great deal for $10.00

 

The oil capacity is 9.5 quarts with filter change and 8.2 without, I don't know where you got 5 quarts which is dangerously low.

ps: using a Mobil1 other than 0W40 is for temporary stopgap usage only. The additives packages are different.
