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.

When ordering from the various parts houses I usually have them toss in a few of the little hole and big hole German filters.....I have early 914/6 and later model 911 oil tanks.......

Like noted above the FRAM filters bite the weenie....gud advertising...but low quality. Plus there is the matter of the Porsche oil valve and other items....

Never trust a filter that has ten different applications for the same filter.

Oil capacity varies if have an external cooler or not.....

Best to change oil after a spirted run so that the thermostat has opened.....

Remember to replace tank and engine plugs.....fill oil tank with 7-8 quarts, warm up engine check level.....take it for a drive check again...
