Hello I'm a new owner of my first 914, I went to Napa this morning to get the materials to service the engine and transmission, they told me I needs 20-50 motor oil and 89-90 gearoil. I tried to look it up on my own but was getting different answers, depending on where I live and ambient temperature. I live in Central east Alabama and the temp gets around high ninteys during summer and low thirties in the winter. Can anyone recommend and oil viscosity. Thanks sincerely Jerry h

If you are limited to NAPA, get Valvoline VR 20-50 racing oil. You want a high zinc oil. If you are going to mail order, get Driven DT50 or Penngrade 20/50.
