What's the sump capacity of my 944 S2?

Quickie chaps, just as it says in the title, what's the sump capacity of my 944 S2? Or, to put it another way, how big a container do I need to put underneath it to catch all the oil when I service it?

I think it's the same as my 2.5 Lux which is 6.5Litres. Although at least 0.5 stays in the filter to empty over you, the PAS pump, rack & undertray when you remove it.
You'll need a decent size bowl as it comes out at a fair rate of knots.
Make sure you have some cat lit 7 coca cola to clear the drive up with afterwards!

6.5 litres! Blimey! That's a bit more than the outgoing Golf (just under 4!)

Big bowl - yes. Maybe time for a quick trip to the pound shop to see what they have that will do the job.

Coca cola to clean up with? Why - does it remove oil marks? Hmmmm. Does it have to be coca cola - could it be tescos mega-cheap-value-tastes-like-you-don't-want-to-know cheap cola?
