My car leaves er, oil. Looking at the dipstick there are two lines on the flat face and another line a quart higher on the rounded side. Is that high mark stock? Or might it as I now suspect have been put there by a previous owner. I have been maintaining at the highest mark. Might I throw oil doing that? Does anyone else have it marked that way? Cannot post pictures at present.
Thanks. Oh, 1976 914-4 2.0 |

Adding an extra 1/2 quart to a 914 has been around for years. We started doing it back in the 80 while autocrossing to prevent the oil pressure light from coming on during hard cornering. Read it in VW/Porsche magazine.
Just don't do more than the 1/2 quart. |
