I googled 'Porsche M96 oil capacity'. Pelican says you'll need 7-10 qts. That nailed it down. The next entry said 8.5L. When I convert that to qts, it equals 8.9 qts. So that's probably where everyone comes up with 9Q per oil change. However, that assumes all the oil comes out, which it doesn't.

It's always easier to add oil than remove it.
