I’ve read 2.0
Has 4.8-5.3 oil capacity vs less in the smaller engines. If so do are dipsticks different to account for that |

All of the stock four-cylinder 914s had an oil capacity of a bit under 4 quarts. I believe it was 3.5 liters, which is about 3.7 quarts. 914s don't seem to mind having slightly too much oil, so just dumping 4 quarts in when you do an oil (and filter) change works fine.
Note that deep sumps, "tuna cans", external oil coolers, and so on will add to the oil capacity. But it may be harder to get the oil out of some of those while doing a regular oil change. --DD |
