I know I am off topic by one digit but maybe someone can help....I just changed the oil in my '89 944 turbo and have put at least 7.5 quarts of oil into it....but it doesn't hit the dip stick yet. Never had this problem before. No leaks or anything....good oil pressure....and even if the new oil is so clean you couldn't see it it would still be wet and shiny....which it isn't. I am afraid to put more oil in.....most sources say 6.5 quarts should do it.....anybody have any ideas on this? Very weird....
Thank you, gg |
