Hey Fellas , so I’m getting close to starting my 2.4L. I’ve read that the original 6 takes 9 quarts. Mine is slightly larger as stated. I want to start adding oil to the system. Not only to look for leaks but want to get some in the block so I can rotate her without fear of
scuffing up metal that shouldn’t. I know your supposed to check when hot and running. How much would you add at first. Any starting procedure tips. It is carbed and does NOT have a front cooler. Appreciate any insight and experience. Cheers, Dion Engine porn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

I think this is a really good question for anyone who has lost track of how much oil is in a dry sump system. With my 911 and 914-6 I have had oil leaks that could be little or could be large. All I know is that after 30 miles there is evidence of oil spreading out and about. You park, tighten up or otherwise fix the problem. But how much oil remains? I am terrified by the specter of low oil pressure. The net result has been over filling followed by a smoke screen that would do Bond or the US Navy proud.
Guidelines for starting with an unknown oil load would be very very useful for those with dry sumps. |
