Stock 914/6 is 7 litres ,have trawled for answers and have had 8.5,9,10 quarts and some running even more but think that's for 911's,I think the 911 tank is larger judging by the 2 I have.
I currently run 7.5 litres because I have larger oil lines and so called larger ''upgrade'' filter,just feel it should be a little more. I can't trust the oil level on the dipstick because it is a PMS one and my tank is stock 914/6,I kinda feel this filler neck/dipstick is for their aftermarket tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . A US quart is more than 1 litre so I'am thinking of running 9 liters total ,don't want to overfill it for obvious reasons but would like to be over to read the dipstick engine running on level ground. TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
