In my '08 Boxster, if the car is warm, you have to turn the motor off, then turn the key to on, and wait for 5 mins before it will tell you the oil level. If I had a dipstick, I could do it a lot faster than 5 mins.
I'll double check later tonight, but I don't believe I have to wait. If I remember right, I was able to check immediately. Tire pressure on the other hand, I had to hit 15mph before it would give me a tire pressure reading.
