So I'm getting ready to do my first oil change on our newly acquired '74 1.8.
Getting ready to order the following from Atlanta: Mahle-Knecht oil filter Victor Reinz Oil Gasket Set (includes 2 gaskets, crush washer for strainer, washer for drain plug) Anything else I need? Any tips/trickes I need to know about? I change the oil on all my other cars, but those are Toyotas, Fords, & Chevys. This is my first time owning & changing the oil on a German car. Also - my searches show most use 20W-50 oil in their 914. I'm in Dallas, Tx and I typically use 10W30 in most of my cars. Should I use 20W-50 in the 914? Any tips / suggestions are welcome! I still owe you all pics. Hope to get them by the weekend. thanks Chris (auto_cran) |

Ok - if I don't need to get the car too high, then yeah, I'll just ride the car up on some ramps or some boards. Thanks td and George. And George - I do the same thing - whenever I raise a car & have it supported with jackstands, I keep the floor jack under there(raised) as a backup.
Eyes - yes this is the red 1.8 '74 that was for sale in Mesquite. PO took care of all the major stuff - I'm just wrapping up the loose ends. I owe you all pics soon! Chris |
