Brake fluid reservoir
Level should be between MIN
and MAX marks.
Only use new brake fluid ac-
cording to SAE recommenda-
tion J 1703, DOT 3 or DOT 4
and conforming to Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 1 1 6 .
Do not use silicone base
brake fluid (DOT 5). Even the
smallest traces may cause se-
vere corrosion in the brake sys-
tem.
Engine oil dipstick
Check oil level a few minutes
after engine has stopped. Lev-
el should be between upper
and lower marks on dipstick.
Difference between marks is
approx. 1 . 6 U.S. qt. or 1 . 5 liter.
Warning: Before checking
anything in the engine com-
partment, let the engine cool
down. T h e fan b l a d e s will ro-
tate spontaneously (even
with ignition off) until coolant
temperature drops.
Engine oil

"API Service SF or SE". Details
under "Engine Oils". Filling ca-
pacity is 2 U.S. gals, or 7 . 5 liters.
Check oil level as prescribed.

for limited slip differential) use
hypoid oil SAE 75 W-90 l a b e l e d
"For service API/GL 5 or
MN-L2105B".

gals, or 4.5 liters.
Automatic transmission
ATF lubricates torque conver-
ter and transmission. Check
ATF level visually through
transparent reservoir at rear
end of transmission housing
when A T F is warm, with engine
idling, selector lever in Neutral

Should level be below MIN or
above MAX mark, do not just
add or drain ATF. Have a Por-
sche dealer correct the cause
promptly.
