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.

1 - Mahle OC-61 as used on '65->'71 911. '72+ is different.

2 - 20W50 dino or 15W-50 synthetic

3 - using BIG drain container remove plug from sump plate. remove sump plate and strainer. examine strainer for chunks; clean, re-install using two large gaskets and new copper seal rings from the oil change kit you purchased with the oil filter. do not overtighten the 6mm fasteners lest you warp the strainer and plate or break/strip the studs. if your plate is warped by PO overtightening, the Mainely Custom By Design billet aluminum replacement is excellent. the strainers are NLA. install the drain plug using a new copper seal ring; tighten.

reposition the drain pan to below the left trailing arm. using two large (32 & 36?) open-end wrenches, disconnect the oil line fittings provided for this purpose. following the drain, reconnect the lines, taking great care not to cross-thread the aluminum fittings.

place a shop towel under the oil filter; remove. clean any spills, lightly lubricate the seal ring on the new filter, install.

4 - 9 liters with filter change.

use only Mahle, Mann, Knecht, or other quality filter. AVOID FRAM.
