914-6 Oil Filter, The Search Function Sucks! Options

[Britain Smith]

I need to determine what oil filter is needed to do an oil change on a stock 914-6 and I came up with nothing using the search function. I am not sure if anyone else has issues with the search functions, but I never can find what I am looking for.

In summary, this is what I need:

1. Oil Filter for stock 914-6
2. Type of oil to use
3. Quick summary of how to do an oil change
4. How much does it take

And yes, I have a 914 manual but it is packed away with everything else in preparation for my move to OR.

914/6 owners manual describes the process as follows:

1. Witht the engine warm, remove the oil drain plug. Disconnect the oil line between the oil tank and the engine (see illustration)

(Note: the illustration shows the splitting of the two oil lines where they are connected under the left hand longitudinal)

2. Drain the oil completely from the engine and the oil tank

3. Remove the oil strainer, clean and reinstall. Observe instruction carefully

4. Replace the filter element as described in the maintenance schedule (Note every 6,000 miles)

5. Clean the ol drain plug, reinstall and tighten. Connect the oil line between engine and oil tank.

6. Add 9.5 U.S. quarts of brand-name HD engine oil to the oil tank (see page 86)

7. Close the oil tank

8. Run the engine and check the oil level at idle speed as soon as the oil is warm (at least 60deg C or 140deg F). The engine must run until the oil level stabilizes (about 1/2 minute).

9. Stop the engine and add more oil if required.
