FLAT6/METHOD

The collection / selected through ownership

Clean starts.
Cool oil.

Parked, a 993 Turbo can let oil drain into the engine and the turbos, then smoke on start-up. On my car one-way valves keep the oil where it belongs, and a bigger cooler keeps it cool.

The oil system, part by part

01 / TOP FEEDS

Check valves at the turbos.

After shut-off, the turbos can siphon oil from the engine and push it past their seals. TurboKraft’s feed lines (993-107-030-TK) carry check valves that stop the flow when the engine stops.

02 / ENGINE SIDE

The anti-drainback kit.

The FVD oil backflow prevention kit for the 993 Turbo: the valve housing in the engine-side oil hose.
FVD’s valve housing in the engine-side hose.

FVD’s anti-drainback kit (FVD20799320) puts a one-way valve in the engine-side hose between the oil tank and the engine, so a parked car keeps its oil in the tank.

03 / LOWER LINE

The Rothsport valve.

The Rothsport oil inlet check valve for the 993 and 993 Turbo, marked tank and engine for the flow direction.
Rothsport’s oil inlet check valve, marked tank to engine.

The lower line carries a Rothsport oil inlet check valve (RS-29B). Rothsport builds it for the 1995–98 993 and 993 Turbo to stop oil migrating from the tank into an engine that sits.

04 / CUSTOM LINES

Made to fit.

The lower lines are custom-made AN lines. They bring the turbo oil back along the factory’s looping route.

05 / COOLING

A bigger cooler up front.

The CSF 8119 bar-and-plate oil cooler.
CSF’s 8119 bar-and-plate cooler.

The left fender’s factory cooler made way for a CSF 8119 bar-and-plate cooler in Euro Parts West’s kit. Euro Parts West rates it at 64% more core surface than the original Porsche cooler.

Its -16AN lines run to the factory GT2 cooler that stays in the right fender.

06 / OWNERSHIP
