No, it is definitely “two thirds” - the clue is the “rds” that is written after the 2/3.
He wouldn’t have got over 2l in without it over spilling the top! 🤔

... and I still have 1/3rd of a litre left in the bottle. I did confuse our younger members by mixing fractions and decimals. Perhaps I should have said 667ml 67cl or 6.7dl

Also, as a side note…
My oil indicator has not moved at all since the day I picked it up - exactly half way between min and max.
Stranger still, the car has done 9k miles and nearly all of these have been short journeys of less than four miles each way, and the oil service has maintained a due mileage of 16,500… 🤔

Our oil always needs topping a day or two before it goes in for an oil service such is my bad luck!

My low oil light (only) lit up en route from The Algarve. And went onto say OK to drive. I checked the electronic fill level, and it was only a few mm's off full.
Topped it up with a litre of oil when I got home, and all showed OK.
This is only the second time in 55K mls, that it's needed to be topped up.

Have just had the Engine Control Fault illuminate.
Contacted the OPC who informed me that they can look at the vehicle in exactly 1 months time at the earliest. After a discussion about diagnostics it was suggested that I contacted Porsche Assist - which I did.
20 minutes later the AA technician arrived, plugged in the magic box and informed me that my Petrol Particulate Sensor was indicating faulty. I think this suggested a trip up the motorway as the filter may have been blocked. (Evidently I am not driving my GTS with sufficient rapidity).

Petrol Particulate Sensor, thought it was only the oil burners had that issue, do a late night drive so you can keep at 2000 rpm for 30 mins or more

I too was unaware until the AA man told me about it. When I had my Q5’s I’d often go for a fast drive to have a blow through and clean the DPF. There we are - we live and learn. I shall follow your suggestion.

I always thought the correct title was GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter). Looking on the net to see if I was right or wrong, I came across this article.

They seem to be saying that taking the car out for a blast is unneccesary.
