new to me 914 needs an oil change. car has "tuna" can sump, remote oil filter and cooler. cooler is located in back, mounted high under under trunk.
estimate of how much oil it holds?
does the oil cooler drain back to the engine?
with engine warm, where should oil be on dip stick?
thanks Dave

Measure how much you've drained out and replace it. Can't really know how much oil in the oil cooler will actually drain out or be trapped. The tuna can sump extension doesn't really add too much capacity, but you have to be extremely careful to not over torque the bolt holding it on!

Try to fill about half way between the marks on the dipstick.
