my base 2000 took slightly more than 9 quarts
I just did an oil change on a MY2000 base and it took slightly more than 9 quarts to get to the point where the electronic gage reads one bar down, which is what is recommended. I'm almost inclined to just use 9 quarts in the future which was two bars down.
Our local Posche Club had a session on changing oil done by a Porsche tech. He recommended that the level be one bar down, not at the top. There are some malfunctions (usually serious by the way) that can cause your oil level to go up. If you run at the top bar you loose the ability to "see" a rising oil level.
On another note, some clothes washing detergents are coming in a 300 ounce container. This is a nice way to carry the waste oil to a disposal point. It hold about 9-3/8 quarts so you'll find that the complete drain fits perfectly. It also has a wide opening. I always hated pouring the oil into the old quart containers as it always seemed to create a mess.
