2004 3.6 X51 oil change
JaxJim replied to JaxJim's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
The manual says 8.7 Qts with a filter change. I cannot find anything that says the x51 requires more oil. I'm lucky, my pcar does not use any oil, at least not enough to register. This is the third oil change, first done by dealer, last two by me. Guess I won't worry about it. -
This weekend I changed the oil on the Porsche. This is the second time I've changed the oil and both times it has taken 9 Qts to fill. The level on the dipstick is right at the top notch, where it's supposed to be. The dashboard shows one bar less than all bars lit. Does the X51 require more oil? I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but both times I've changed oil now it's been the same. Thanks for the help.

Also check the codes to see if it's the standard suspension, or the M030 (either US or ROW which is lowered). Mine has the M030US and it's a bit harsh at times. But, this car feels, sounds and drives like a serious sports car, which is exactly what I wanted!
