This may be a simplistic question, but this is my first 914 a '73 2.0L. I just got it recently. My question has to do with the oil change, specifically the strainer which is to be removed and cleaned, which I did. The problem is when I replaced it it leaks oil. I know it's only supposed to be torqued to 8 ft lbs or so which I did, I think the problem has to do with the gasket. My oil change gasket kit came with two gaskets for the strainer. Am I supposed to use both? I just fitted one gasket on to the strainer when replacing it, was I supposed to double up, or push one of the gaskets up into the lip where it seals with the case? What's the proper procedure here?
Also, now I'm going to get more oil, I had used SAE 30W but I'd rather use a multi-grade, what is working for most here? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/birthday3.gif) |
