My 99 C2 3.4L engine is bone stock. I do my own oil changes. I pull the drain plug and let it drain overnight, then slightly jack up the left rear of the car so the remaining oil that pools in the sump drains out. Put in drain plug. Fill oil filter with oil and install. Then I put in 10.25 quarts of oil, Liqui-Moly 5W-40 Leichtlauf High Tech. Comes in a 5.28 U.S. Quart size (5 L) bottle. I've done this so many times over the years. I always end up right on the full mark before starting the engine. I don't burn off much oil between oil changes. My owners manual says the capacity w/filter is 8.7QT/8.25 L. I find I need more to be at the high mark on the dipstick. The manual also says that the difference between the high and low mark on the dipstick is 1.6 QTS/1.5L.
I always keep mine near the high mark. More oil, more oil and cooling capacity. I do not track or run the car hard so I'm not sloshing the oil around. 145K miles, 6 month oil changes, so I must be doing something right.
DBJDBJoe996, What do you use for trnasmisson oil?

Any of the members use additives and if so what additives do you use?

If I show proof of ownership, should the dealer provide the IPAS code if requested?

1999 996 standard coupe. It is my understanding that when you lock the car and there is one beep, is sign there is an open circuit in regards to the alarm circuit. However, PST2 does not shows any alarm error codes o the Alarm module. Why? What could be the probem. If there is an open circuit, should the Alarm module show error codes?

Is there a way to search for Members?

Makes sense. That's why after replacing the cluster the VIN # is still the same. Thanks.

Well, this is what I did. Cleaned the MAFS, de-oiled the S&N filter.
Connected my PST2, did have some error codes but did not take note,do remember, an error code regarding hot film, voltage,etc. However,in order to do the modification did disconnect the MAF connector and made the mistake of strating the car. Once I realized that, reconnected the MAF and was getting the "check eng light" . Cleared the error codes, started the car and no CHCK engine light. The PST2 was sluggish. Another thing I noticed, I replaced the cluster, the DME did show the original VIN number, not the donnor's cluster VIN number. Painted the car and was with no battery for aprox 4 weeks, could it be that when the power was restores the DME updated the VIN number in the cluster?

SHould have asked, in case I need to cean the MAF, what's the correct procedure and what cleaner should I get? Will check on a scan tool.
