Makes no difference either way, that centre metal piece is the oil extraction tube and it goes all the way down into the sump and sits around 5 mm off the bottom.
I find it easiest to put a funnel in between that tube and the edge of the oil filler hole.
Yup, searched through old threads and figured it out. 1 quart in. Waiting before checking the level.
So waited after the first quart, still says under filled and didn't budge in terms of the markings. I added a second. Waiting 5-10 more minutes. At this point if the level doesn't budge do I call for a flatbed to take it to the dealer Monday morning, or keeping adding and checking?
Update: Second quart didn't budge, setup the flatbed for tomorrow morning and appointment is Monday. Honestly, the setup of the flatbed was so pleasant I'm still in shock.
Latest. They are going to keep the car for a few days to make sure no leak with oil level being low.
The check engine was on when the guy came with the flatbed. When I asked the service advisor on the phone about the light they said it was associated with the super charger?
A number of us have gotten (or about to, in my case) a new supercharger snout, to replace failed bearings or the isolator/coupler. Not terribly rare, unfortunately. Quite expensive at a dealer when not covered by warranty. Wouldn’t think that would be related to loss of oil, but I’m no expert. My S.C. couple is quite noisy, with no loss of oil.
Loose oil filter. No issues with further drops in the oil and they’ve had it for a couple days. Super charger fixed
Big personal lesson is check the oil level more frequently. My biggest issue is waiting the ten minutes, but I’ll start checking before driving every day and attempt to sit in the car to check post more frequently.
