Oil Refill Warning at 6,500 km – Summary of Panamera Oil Refill Procedure

Oil Level Low The other day, while driving the Panamera Turbo, this warning suddenly appeared on the meter. O-Oil level low!? “Didn’t we just change it at 1,000 km?Is this serious?Do I need to stop immediately!?What should I do!?” I panicked and quickly emailed my husband at work. He replied right away.

Which Options Are a Must-Have When Buying a Panamera?

Visual Differences Between the Previous and New Models The first Panamera to arrive at our home was back in February 2016. It was a 970 Panamera Edition (facelift model) in Carrara White. With a naturally aspirated engine, smooth acceleration, and a spring suspension that still offered a comfortable ride, it was truly a wonderful car. Both my husband and I thought, “There’s no way the new Panamera could surpass this.” That’s how impressive it was....

My Car-Loving Husband’s Ratings – Porsche Boxster, Panamera, Mercedes-Benz SL

The SL’s Frequent Visits to the Garage My husband recently bought a 1997 SL500. Because it’s an older model and had been left unused for a while after the previous owner passed away, it’s showing various signs of wear. The seats are worn out, and when he opens and closes the roof, oil leaks from the roof area. The SL “grandpa” has been spending a lot of time at the repair shop lately for maintenance....

Which Porsche to Choose: 911, Panamera, or Boxster?

If I Were the Female Version of Kazuo Shimizu The other day, my husband showed my blog to his car-loving younger brother, and apparently he said, “This is just like Kazuo Shimizu, lol.” And honestly, he’s right… It’s obvious from this blog that I’m a Porsche enthusiast. So, even though I’m not as knowledgeable about cars as my car-obsessed husband, but more interested than the average woman, I suddenly wondered: “If I had to pick...
