Re: Oil Level Indicator on the Dash is reading LOW after Oil change

Glad to see others doing there own paint work on interior parts. I just did my console and horseshoe radio cover and love the way they turned out. Now to do the hard backs of my sport seats.

Re: Oil Level Indicator on the Dash is reading LOW after Oil change

Hopefully, I'll have everything reinstalled and I can take it out for a drive. Glad to see others doing there own ...

Re: Oil Level Indicator on the Dash is reading LOW after Oil change

My electronic level gauge reads 2 bars low when the stick reads level. I do not fill above the 2 bars low in fear of overfilling. Typically I loose approx 2 bars (or less) between my 3k mile oil change so I do not add oil between changes. "is there a way to re-calibrate the digital gauge??"

My Other Passions

Although I love working and driving my 996, my other passions are older 4x4 trucks. My last rebuild was a 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser where I did a complete performance upgrade including installing a Chevy 350 (that I built with my son so as to show him how an engine works) that puts out over 350 hp an...

Re: Questionable Rotor Wear
