Hi, recently purchased a 2002 C4S - prior to delivery had the 111 point check which threw up a RMS leak so had that replaced at an OPC (didn't know the RMS was a problem with the 3.6 cars?). And purchased Porsche warranty
Got car today and its showing 5 bar on gentle acceleration , limped home dipped the oil and its just over the max on the dip stick. The automatic check also reads beyond the max. on start up from cold - though a oil check at a filling station did read just under max.
When I test drove the car prior to purchase and before the RMS was done the oil was perfect!
Question : is the electronic oil measurement reliable - or should I dip the oil manually?
Will the reason for the high pressure be the overfilled oil? Can any damage be done in 40 miles? What needs to be done to rectify ?
Thanks,
