1995 1995 993 conversion on 1975 911 OIL Level CHECK

[vahekar]

Hello, I am new to forums, but I will start by asking a question.


I recently acquired a 1975 Porsche 911 with a 1995 993 engine swap/conversion, with the stock 915 transmission. If anyone would know the answer to my following question, it would greatly be appreciated.

My goal is to read the accurate measurement of the oil level. My oil level indicator in not operating , and the car currently has the stock OIL DIP STICK from the 1975 engine. When I check the oil on the original dipstick (the short dipstick , compared to the long 1995 993 engine dipstick), it is half way. However, I just wanted to make sure if this reading is reliable, due to the fact that my engine is now a 3.6 L compared to the original 2.7 L engine it had before. Does any one have any thoughts on this?

Don,t want to be running the car with less than the required level of oil. Thanks!

My unscientific answer is if you have a half full oil unit designated by the old dipstick you are fine. That dipstick is for that oil container/filter unit so it measures it properly.
If you have good oil pressure you have enough oil in a dry sump motor...and if the oil tank is 1/2 full when fully warm (I never fill mine as do most) you should be good to go.
