Oil level in 3.4 S Cayman Gen 1 (2007)

[Johnniem]

Just a quickie question....if the oil level indicator has one 'notch' used then how much oil should it be topped up with? Am off on a Eurohoon tomorrow and realised that I need a quick top up but really don't want to overfill as I believe that this would be bad. Thanks for any help chaps.

Thanks esuuv. Is that 500mm to fill it from the bottom of the indicator or 500mm per 'notch' on the indicator?

So it seems that, as with many other cars, there is a multitude of answers (depending on whether you agree with the hot or cold measure camps!). I am pleased to report that a) after the Eurohoon I can confirm the Gen 1 987 Cayman S is one awesome car and b) it takes around 250ml per notch on the gauge.

This was my first Eurohoon with the Cayman, having driven a Chimaera for the last 7 years (another amazing car) and it is without doubt the most planted and forgiving car that I could ever concieve. I was all over the back of an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (not in a straight line of course!) and on the way home I happened across a section of unrestricted autobahn (lucky me!). 151 mph was achieved before application of the brakes due entirely to traffic. Steady as a rock and seemed to have plenty more left to play with. Just awesome. If you have never played on the twisties to test the car then I recommend you do so as soon as possible. Smiles per mile are also at a high level on the 987, it's not just for Tiv owners.
