Re: Oil and gas
I figured out how to check the oil. It is a menu selection on the dashboard and works once the engine is at operating temperature. There is a countdown timer displayed while it looks at the oil, and the timer took 45- seconds for me when I asked it.

I got the owner manuals today but haven't gotten had a chance to look at them.

Two interesting things the salesman told me I like everyone to comment on:

1. Porsche says to change the oil no sooner than 10k miles or once a year.

2. The only gasoline to buy is: Shell, ?, and Marathon.

BTW Last week when I got the car, there were five others for sale; now all but one are gone.
