Oil top up.

[911fan]

Hi, I have the Mobil 1 oil for my 997, but please can someone advise as to the top-up level, since I recall that pouring in too much oil is damaging?

I'd take it up to the marker below the top one, that gives the oil room to expand at higher temperatures. I've topped mine up once from the low marker to the 3rd one.

Its in the manual! Its 400cl to each of the segments on the read out. You will find that if you fill it to the top line sometimes when the car has sat say for a day or two that the level goes to the line just over the full mark. This is not a problem as long as you havent put more than say half a litre or so in when its one segment below the full line..Easy! Hope this helps..

If you are tracking the car then keep the oil level down a bit from the top mark. Sounds strange i know but the oil temp runs much higher (expands etc) on track, if it's just for road use then as already mentioned.
