How to get 14.5 quarts of oil into a 911
Not what most of you are thinking. 
The jug on the left is the 10.5 quarts I took out of the engine & oil tank.
The jug on the right is the 4 quarts I took out of the windshield washer tank!!
There was also about 2 quarts of windshield washer under the oil, so the washers actually worked!!
There is no accounting for the stupidity of others.
I've had this car for over two years, and had no idea the windshield washer tank had oil in it.
Sheesh!
Also, thought I'd share, I got these jack stands at TSC.
In addition to the ratchet, they have a safety pin that runs through the base.

This is in the running for PO f'up of the decade!
I guess it beats having those pesky oil bottles rolling around the trunk on those long drives, though. And space efficient...

Yup, pretty bad.
I hope there are no more surprises like this.
Today I got about 2/3 of the way through preparing to drop the engine.
Only need to pull the axles and the clutch slave, and remove some hoses and we should be ready to drop.

Baby need a new clutch Clive.
I'm going to do some clean up while it's out.
I've already removed all the A/C components, and I'm planning to backdate the heat.
Based on how hard it has been to devote time to this, I doubt I will be making it to Hershey this year either, unless I take the Benz.

That's a great idea, Ed! I mean the washer tank hold's a bit over eight quarts, right? It would be good for the guys with really bad valve guides. You could just run the washer hose all the way to the oil tank and just give it a squirt every now and then...

Must have been thinking Stage Left, LOL
The oil stayed almost completely separated from the washer fluid.

Yeah Ian i was thinking about Hershey thats why I asked .. only about 4 weeks away now. post some pics of your old clutch when you get her off . I am always iterested in that stuff
all the best.
PS why is the oil black ? if oil were put in wouldn't it be clearish ? it's not like its been exposed to combustion.

It is actually clearer than it looks in the jug, not new looking, but not as dark as what came out of the engine. It was also a thinner viscosity than the 20W50 I had in the engine. More like 10W30.
