Engine lubrication
The 911 GT3 Cup (991 II) features dry-sump lubrication with a demand-controlled oil
pump. This type of lubrication system design ensures a reliable pressure oil supply to
the engine components that require lubrication in all driving situations. The oil tank
mounted separately on the front of the engine always contains enough oil to supply the
oil pump. The crankshaft has a central oil supply to provide the connecting-rod bearings
with sufficient lubrication at high engine speeds.
An oil/water heat exchanger has been integrated into the engine's oil/water system for
controlling the engine temperature.
1.3.1
Oil level measurement
On the 911 GT3 Cup (991), the oil level is measured electronically by means of a level
sensor in the oil tank. There is no dipstick. To ensure a correct measurement, the engine
must be at operating temperature (coolant temperature 80°C (176°F)).
