The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “87”) and maximum speed code letter (e.g. “Y”) are minimum requirements.
Snow chains
Can be mounted only on the rear wheels; maximum speed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Use only Porsche authorized fine-link cross-type or edge chains.
Snow chain clearance can be guaranteed only on the tire + rim combination marked*.
Tire and rim sizes Extensive tests are performed before specific tires and wheels are approved by Porsche. Your Porsche dealer has informa-
tion about approved tires and wheels and is happy to assist you.
If aftermarket tires and/or wheels are installed which are not approved by Porsche, the vehicle’s driveability, stability while
in motion and handling characteristics might be impaired. Since Porsche has no data on such combinations, Porsche cannot
stand behind the safety or durability of these aftermarket combinations.
Danger!
Installation of sizes not authorized by
Porsche may have a dangerous effect on
the driving stability and could result in
severe personal injury or death.
f Before mounting new tires, check with your
Porsche dealer about the current release status.
238 Technical Data
Capacities
Use only fluids and fuels authorized by Porsche. Your authorized Porsche dealer will gladly advise you.
Your Porsche has been designed so that it is not necessary to mix any additives with oils or fuels.
Engine
Oil change quantity without oil filter approx. 9.25 quarts / 8.75 liters
Oil change quantity with oil filter approx. 9.5 quarts / 9 liters
Please see the chapter “ENGINE OIL” on Page 159.

Fuel quality
Your engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using
unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON (93 CLC or AKI).
Porsche therefore recommends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not always be available. Be assured that your vehicle
will operate properly on unleaded premium fuels with octane numbers of at least 95 RON (90 CLC or AKI),
since the engine’s “Electronic Octane™ knock control” will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.
