When I got my 914-6 3.2 conversion, it smoked billows. It was way to full of oil. It showed normal on the dip stick. After seeing a few photos, I came to the conclution that the filler neck was set in to high. So my dip stick is wortless. Are all tanks created equal?
I'm going to do a oil change and try to measure out whats in there, now that I have burned off a lot of the excess oil. The smoking has calmed down to a puff. |

If you haven't started the engine in a few days it will puff smoke on cold starting.
If you have a factory style tank and don't have an external oil cooler, you should be safe starting with 9 1/2 qts. Check the oil level with the engine idling at operating temp, parked on a level spot. I know a few guys who have accidentally over filled their (new to them) "6" and belched motor oil all over the engine bay, because they checked the oil with the engine off. |
