I know I am off topic by one digit but maybe someone can help....I just changed the oil in my '89 944 turbo and have put at least 7.5 quarts of oil into it....but it doesn't hit the dip stick yet. Never had this problem before. No leaks or anything....good oil pressure....and even if the new oil is so clean you couldn't see it it would still be wet and shiny....which it isn't. I am afraid to put more oil in.....most sources say 6.5 quarts should do it.....anybody have any ideas on this? Very weird....
Thank you, gg |

I checked my records and I added 6.25 Qts on my last oil & filter change. The owners manual says “approx” 6.87 qts with filter. Only a German would give an approximate oil capacity with 2 decimal places. Anyway 8 qts should be way too much oil for a stock engine. The dipstick in my car measures 20-3/4” from the edge of the plastic to the tip or 19-1/2” from the edge of the plastic to the bottom (low oil) notch.
