I have been enjoying my freshly restored 914-6 GT Tribute and now it is time for the first oil change. The car has Ben's oil tank and a front cooler.
I assume the process is similar to that on a 911. The system should hold 10-12 quarts of oil. I added about 9 quarts initially. Now I need to warm the car up and with the car running and sitting on a level surface, add oil until the dipstick shows oil about midway on the clear section of the dipstick. Sound about right?  |

On a 964 (with front oil cooler) warming the engine oil didn't really happen without 20-30 minutes of spirited driving (really beating the shit out of it).
That car had an oil level gauge in the dash that almost always read stupid low until the oil was really hot. It was VERY easy to overfill it. Does your car have an oil temperature gauge? The 964 didn't and that would have helped me... |
