How to Check Porsche Engine Oil Level by Porsche Tester or Launch X431

Checking the Porsche engine oil level makes more accurate than the normal procedure with the instrument cluster screen and on top of that, it tells you how much oil you have to top to be at max level. This will be used every time we change our oil.

 

Here is the procedure:
WM 170101 CHECKING ENGINE-OIL LEVEL USING THE PORSCHE TESTER (CAYENNE, CAYENNE GTS, CAYENNE S HYBRID, CAYENNE S E, CAYENNE TURBO, CAYENNE
