Liqui Moly Classic - 20W-50 in a 3.2 1985
Hi folks,I was just doing my spring cleaning and repair list.I bought the oil change kit from our hosts Liqui Moly Classic - 20W-50,as recommended for my 85 3.2, and proceeded to do the oil change. Now my regular 911 drip drip has turned into a gushing type of affair.Was this oil the wrong recommendation?

what oil did you previously use? Where's the gusher coming from?

Doesn't seem likely that your oil change caused a a major oil leak. Did you use new aluminum washers on both drain plugs? I'd clean the bottom of the engine to see where the leak is. Perhaps an oil line got disturbed and has started to leak.

Liqui Moly is a high quality brand from Ulm/Germany. I used it for many years with no Problems.
An optimal zddp quantity is here also a plus.

Yea, let's see some pictures. It could be coming from a dozen places, some of which are easy to fix.
