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 NAPA is your local parts house they usually have these on the shelf.
These work fine for the 914 and are at a decent price. Sta-Lube 80W90 Gear Oil GL5- 1 qt NAPA Part #: SL SL2472 Valvoline Motor Oil 20W50 VR1 NAPA Part #: VAL 679082 Welcome to the crazy 914 world.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
