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) |

Hey guys, not trying to hi-jack this thread but will the air-cooled engine in the 914 run hotter or cooler with the Brad-Penn 20w-50 oil vs. 10W-30 weight (assuming summer months). I am referring to the oil temps as read by the factory temp gauge or a dip stick thermometer.
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
