So i'm getting into a Grand Am Spec 996 Cup Car and have a question? how do you add oil?
it appears this car has a quick connect for both oil and water. Does this take a 'Special Tool' and if so, where do you get this?

thanks

check your oil when car is at idle and warm first. remember its a dry sump.

That i know, it have the oil level led in the right rear window ( grand am spec)
i'm referring to how you get oil into the motor. there is a quick connect at the right rear of the engine bay for adding oil. I'm told that it's a special tool that hold 1 quart of oil and will quick fill in a matter of seconds. There are no other fill points for adding oil......

same goes for the water which has a quick connect fitting on the left rear of the engine bay

maybe look up disconnect manufacture for info!

for anyone interested, found the info for the grand-am spec quick fill line for cup cars issued by Porsche Motorsport:
• Replace the oil fill tube with an oil quick fill line and bracket (kit will soon be available by PMNA). Buy a Sobek pressure fill tank for oil. The engine will usually start to consume up to 1 quart per 1.5 hours after running for over 4 hours. This quick fill will save time during pit stops.

• Buy an electronic oil dipstick sensor and light display box (GT3 RS part # 996 641 135 9A (Display), 996 613 135 9B (Sensor)). The dipstick sensor can be mounted on the stock oil tank bracket and the display box should be mounted where it will be visible through the rear side window.

You should also be able to add oil in the normal manner. This is for a quick oil add during a race
