thats the spot..when you drain the oil from the bottom DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the bolt!!! I believe its about 10lbs of torque. Performance Products sells the o-rings for the bolt. Get a Haynes manuel, worth its weight in gold. Car takes 4 quarts with a filter.

QUOTE(ziggy101 @ Sep 24 2006, 04:49 PM)  i also see that people put a "no oil" sticker on it. You are looking at the correct location. The no oil sticker or tape is used after work on the motor that requires the oil to be drained. It's just a reminder not to start the car before you put oil back in.

I was gonna say the same place it spews oil all over the top of the engine and down a spew pipe to the ground.

It IS NOT stupid. We all had to learn our 914's. The really smart thing to do was what you did - ask for help. That's why we're here. You'll need more & now you know where we are - 24 hours a day.
Amazing.......&Free! Ain't we cool? Ain't we nuts? |

It's also a good idea to put an Oil? sticker or card on the steering wheel where you'll see it before trying to start the car!
