Nope.....

No barrels, no 1 liter bottles, nothing. WTF. 🤦




Tell them to order it.

If they won’t order it, ask them if they will agree to reimburse you if order it yourself from Suncoast.

The engine oil change uses only 4 quarts and change so 5 quarts (It’s good to hold onto some oil for future topping off).

Alternatively, call Porsche North America and ask them what you should do, and ask them if they can either speak to the Dealer or set up a reimbursement for you. This is unacceptable.

By the way, what region are you in?

I believe they will correct the situation.
But stands as a warning to others, make sure you're asking what oil you're getting, when going in for factory service on GT4rs and Spyder RS.

Wait that's all? That's like half of what my Mezger used. Does this apply to normal 4.0 GT4 and Spyders as well?

No applies to the dry sump engines found in 4RS, SRS, 992.1 GT3 and 992.1 GT3RS


It holds eight or nine quarts. But you're only able to drain four to five at a time

And it’s pretty much exactly correct. I drained it until it stopped draining and exactly 4,095 mL came out, and that includes the oil that was in the filter.

Dealer let my car drain overnite while they were doing other work and 5.6 quarts went back into my car. That put the level at 2 bars.
