Can anybody out there with a Porsche G50/52 gearbox please tell me how much oil it needs and what specification.

Time and wine have caused a loss of knowledge on this one.......


Paul

PS. I will also ask the Porsche forum too.

Porsche 3 litres, 3 1/2 with oil cooler.
Inverted 3 1/2 litres wet change.
4 litres dry box.
At least that's what I have in my 50/52 + some extra the oil cooler and pump.

Thanks Tony.

4 litres it is then as the box has just been rebuilt.

Any idea on oil spec?

I would use a Porsche recommended oil.

Before I fill my transmission with oil I decided to paint it again.

Acid etch 2 pack this afternoon.



Hopefully the colour coat tomorrow. Either black again or silver, also in 2 pack.


Paul

Anybody else done anything useful this holiday?

I don't envy you moving.

If I was to move it would take many, many very large lorries to shift my accumulation of 'stuff'.

Good luck.

Thought you might be going for some kind of Asbo Camouflage colour scheme for 2015...

We have been remodelling bodywork - joy!
