Changed the oil last week in my recently aquired 914-6, and consistent with other experiences on this car, something isn't quite right. this is an original 914-6 and still has the original oil tank, but it looks like someone made the dipstick by cut and weld from another car. Can someone tell me what the dimensions are from the top of the dipstick, where it nests in the oil tank, down to the 'full' and 'add' marks should be?

Thanks Jeff.
That's strange, looks like mine is very similar to the original but with addt'l length added on. Anybody have ideas why someone would do that? I know the car spent time at DE days and autocrossing. Is it typical to run them low in high g situations? I've heard of running the 911s on the low side of full, but not enough that you would need to extend the dipstick. Perry, I tried that, but ran into problems with a drain plug leak so I had to pull it and put a new gasket on it quickly. I think I lost about a quart and a half, so that's what I added back in, but it totally blew any chance of marking the dipstick accurately. Thanks for the input, now I need to go add oil. |
