OK, it's like riding a bike, right? But I haven't changed the oil in 20 years (meaning I wasn't driving a 914 during those years). Anyway, I put about 1200 miles on my 1974 this summer and I'm close to putting it away for the winter. I guess I should change the oil and filter, right? I started out with fresh everything.
So, is it important to: 1. Drain while the engine is warm or hot? 2. Change the filter every time? 3. Clean out that screen thing? 4. Torque the bolt(s) back on (what values of torque?) 5. Have the car perfectly flat while draining, not jacked up at all? Putting oil back in: Will it suffice to fill the oil filter with oil and then add three more quarts? Thanks! There's gotta be a step by step thread on this...if so, please direct me. Paul |
