Hey guys, I searched and didn't come up with anything. I'm trying to get magnetic oil drain plugs for the engine and the oil tank. I found the engine case plug size (M20x1.5) but cannot find the plug size for the oil tank. Also, let's not get into the magnetic oil drain plug debate, I know some of you don't believe in them, you will not change my mind I believe its a necessity and all engines should have them and am shocked that these new P-cars do not come with them from the factory. I believe the older cars came with them so maybe its cost cutting at its finest.

what is the difference between engine case and oil tank?

I thought they were different sizes?

Oil tank is M20x1,5. OEM part # 900 065 018 00.

Really, same size as the engine plug?
Ok thanks.

Thread size are the same, but the plugs are different (15mm vs 19mm heads) and torque specs are different.

At the risk of telling you what you already know, the GT3 has a true dry sump oiling system (unlike most other Porsches that have an "integrated dry sump") and has a separate external oil tank (like race cars and all the air-cooled 911's). Helps with providing a constant oil supply under hard cornering and braking at the track. When changing oil, one has to drain the oil in the engine as well as from the oil tank...

Yup, got it, thanks GrantG
I saw that the tank plug was much bigger, didn't think it would be the same thread size as teh smaller engine plug.
