Oil change DIY & a suggestion

Hi Loren,

It's been too long.....

Anyway, I changed my oil again today. Got slightly confused. Your instructions say re oil "9 each ", meaning of course 9 US Quarts of Oil. A US Quart is different to a Imperial (European) Quart so that's where the confusion is. Can I suggest you modify the instructions to say "9 US Quarts (or 8.51 Litres)". It would help us all across the pond.

I've changed my oil so many times I should know it by now. But I just had to double check using your DIY page but then I got confused.

Just FYI:

9 Imperial Quarts = 10.22 Litres which is way too much oil.

9 US Quarts = 8.51 Litres which is the correct amount.

Cheers,

Berny

It does say:

"Model/Capacity in Liters (US quarts) (approx.)

911 Carrera (3.4 liter engine) - 8.50 liters (8.98 quarts)

911 Carrera (3.6 liter engine MY02 on) - 8.25 liters (8.71 quarts)

Boxster - 8.50 liters (8.98 quarts)"

I will add the US quarts just to make it "really" clear.

Cheers! :cheers:

Ah, I just seen it right at the bottom. Maybe move this info into "Parts you will need" at the top for clarity.
