If it is a 996 C2 they usually take 3-3.5 liters.

An engine oil change on a 996 should take around 8.5 liters with the filter change also. ..
The manual trans will take about 3.5 liters. Engine oil is read out in the cluster, have engine up to temp, turn off car. then turn key on without starting. You'll see a timer in the display which will show the oil level After it counts down, make sure the car is on a level surface

The owner's manual will say exactly what you need to do.
But from my own experience with a 1999 996, when I drain the oil (Mobil 1, 0W-30), and remove the oil filter... I end up putting in 9 quarts of oil. Put in 8 quarts and drive the car. Let it sit for 10 minutes and check the dip-stick. I always end up putting in the last of the 9 quarts after that. You will have to add about 1 quart between oil changes. For my car that is about 7,000 miles. Happy motoring. |
