How much oil do i have to put in my 951. I can't remember, but i think its 6 litres.

 

6 quarts, or until full

 

Mine takes 7 quarts

 

I think it tells you in the owners manual.

951 needs 6.5 ltr with filter, which is about 6.87 quarts.

 

what oil are you putting in it?

-just thought i would spark the oil debate

 

i used castrol gtx 10w30 this time around

 

The PO of my car had used regular oil. After 4 oil changes I started using royal purple and a K&N oil filter, for ease of removal. After adding the royal purple the car felt brand new.
SOTP dyno said I gained hp as well.

Hey JJ951,
what weight of Royal Purple are you using?
I'm planning on using them on my first oil change.

 

I believe it was 10w 30 I called the dealer and asked what to use. that was in dec. I just bought some more on monday. 5w 30 for the summer. I can't wait to drive the car again. It has been down since jan.

I have been using castrol gtx 20-50. It took care of my minor oil leaks, keep in mind i live in Houston, 95+ everyday throughout the summer

 

i was reading on a german board, (no um, running the text thru bf...<a href="http://www.dpb-online.com/board/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=2451" target="_blank">DasPorscheBoard</a>) and some guys were talking about putting Castrol RS 10W60 in their 944s... what's up with *that* ??

 

A wild guess to the 10W60 thing would be that since they will be driving the cars past 120 mph quite often (and legally too), some 0W40 just might not cut it anymore.

I'll probably do a change with 15W50 or 20W50 soon, haven't decided the brand yet but I've grown to trust Mobil 1 (amazing what marketing will do to you )

 

Thats what i bought 15W50 mobil 1. Very expensive though. I paid $7 a quart. But putting the best oil is worth it. :s: :b:
