Performante . "Reduce Oil Level" Issue
So shortly after taking delivery of my performante i got this awesome.. oil indecator.. and a screen "Reduce Oil Level" . So quick run to the shop and they check it.. no codes ... nothing crazy code went away. That night.. error came back. Drop the car off and they remove 500ML of oil.. On my way I go again.. light comes back along with "Reduce Oil Level". Another couple days back at the dealer and another 400ML of oil removed now at this point and so far the code has been cleared.
So few things.. The tech noticed at a bunch of performante's are coming with more oil than normal 610's. And actually there is no real consistancy either. Another customer in a 610 had a similar issue and they nailed it down to a specific stop light he would stop at.. at an incline.. would trigger the error. The oil would shift and level + time throws the code. So this made some sense as I noticed the light/code come on at specific times after it cleared.
So if anyone has a performance.. and is getting "Reduce Oil Level"... show your tech this information.. likely just has too much Oil in the system.. even though the oil level is within spec.. its triggering the code.
