The manuals for both of my 2021 718s (GT4 & GTS) have the incorrect illustrations for the oil and the water top-offs. The filler illustrations are reversed, incorrectly showing coolant fill on the right and oil fill on the left, opposite of where they actually are.
Porsche finally issued a supplemental manual (in 34 languages!) a year or so ago after reports of owners adding water in the oil and/or oil in the water.
I've attached a scan of the three pages in English from the 34-language "Supplement to the Driver's Manual" correctly showing the Coolant on the left and the Oil on the right as they should be. Again, please note that this is for six-cylinder 718s only.
The cover of the supplement manual only states "718 Models" so I don't know what other years might have the incorrect info. It does say inside that it pertains to 6-cyl cars only.
I've attached the image scans of the supplement manual along with a PDF of the scanned pages.
