Pronunciation of "Porsche"
My son told me now that I have a Porsche I ought to pronounce it correctly.
Which is it?
1. sounds like Porsh
2. sounds like Porsha
Also, I couldn't get all of my manual pages completely separated and cannot tell where to add oil (this is really embarrassing!). Please tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Karen
'78 928 5 spd.

Even when I lived in Germany people there called it both. Guess it depends on your income bracket.
I believe as stated above the correct answer is #2.

Number two is correct, most will respond to either.
On the top front of the engine, there is a knurled **** on top of a cannister with some hoses going onto it. Unscrew the knurled **** and lift up.

Thanks for the lesson in proper Porsche ownership.
Adding Oil: oel? I thought tha's where the oil went, but just wasn't brave enough to actually put it there without verification.
What a ride this will be!

Porch or Portia.
There is that joke about hiring someone to paint your porch yellow, couple hours later they come back and say they are done, and BTW its pronounced por sha.
