Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:56 pm by Admin
For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.

How much oil??
I’m using a TPC oil pan. How many quarts of oil should I be using?

If you are using the oil filter on the engine, then it's 6 quarts. If you are using a remote oil filter, then it could be as much as 7 quarts depending on how long the oils lines are. If you have an oil cooler as well, then that adds more.
Simplest way to check, is fill with 6 quarts. Start the engine for a minute to get the oil circulated through everything. Shut the engine off and then check the dipstick. Fill as needed to get to the full mark.

I do have the filter on the engine/pan.
No oil cooler. But when I do add 6 quarts the dipstick still says to add more

Do you have the GM dipstick, or is it an aftermarket?

I need to ask Kent at TPC to be sure. I was thinking 6 quarts, but maybe it is 7.

I talked to Kent and he verified 6 quarts. So I would suggest getting an F body dipstick and tube. The vette may be different due to the pan they use. I wouldn't think so, but not sure.

6 litres into the pan (about 6 quarts) with a TPC pan and F-Body tube and dipstick gets me to the top mark. There’s more oil in the system since I have a remote filter and cooler, but if I empty the pan and fill it 6 litres is the amount to hit the top mark on the dipstick.
