So I'm getting ready to do my first oil change on our newly acquired '74 1.8.
Getting ready to order the following from Atlanta: Mahle-Knecht oil filter Victor Reinz Oil Gasket Set (includes 2 gaskets, crush washer for strainer, washer for drain plug) Anything else I need? Any tips/trickes I need to know about? I change the oil on all my other cars, but those are Toyotas, Fords, & Chevys. This is my first time owning & changing the oil on a German car. Also - my searches show most use 20W-50 oil in their 914. I'm in Dallas, Tx and I typically use 10W30 in most of my cars. Should I use 20W-50 in the 914? Any tips / suggestions are welcome! I still owe you all pics. Hope to get them by the weekend. thanks Chris (auto_cran) |

Wow - I'm getting a lot of good information here.
Is the sump/sump screen the same as the stainer plate? Ok - so if I leave the strainer (sump - assuming they are the same thing) alone, am all I am looking at is: - remove & replace the oil filter - remove & reinstall the drain plug (with new crush washer) (Starting to sound like as typical oil change....) The oil gasket kit from Atlanta includes 2 gaskets - are they just for the stainer? Many thanks! Chris |
