Oil capacity?

[redhead]

My 2001 Boxster S took 11L of oil yesterday. Despite what the manual says. Quick question: has anyone experienced a spectacular huge explosion of white smoke from the exhaust directly after an oil change? Luckily, that smoke is absent today.

Why would it need 11 Liters? No wonder you have smoke.

Used 10 quarts in my std '97. Digital gauge and dipstick said it was at full the full line but I dropped the filter housing to take the level down a bit. No issues after the change. Oil drain time was about 3 hours.

I recently did my IMSB as well as had the sump off. Plenty of oil came out from both areas.

After assembly, ended up using 11.5 quarts of oil.
