For this reason, we want to inform you that after filling the engine with engine oil, the oil level must be measured using the on-board computer (confirmation check). If the confirmation check is not carried out, the \"Check oil level\" warning message will still be displayed. In addition, the \"Check oil level\" warning message will come on if the oil level has not been checked for a long time. In this case, check the oil level to determine the current oil level and correct it if necessary. The oil level should be checked regularly, e.g. whenever you refuel, as described in the Owner's Manual.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2012/MC-10109302-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2012/MC-10109302-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10109302","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"PORSCHE","model":"BOXSTER (987)","year_from":2009,"year_to":2011,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2009_porsche_boxster","2010_porsche_boxster","2011_porsche_boxster"]},{"make":"PORSCHE","model":"BOXSTER S","year_from":2012,"year_to":2012,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_porsche_boxster"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
