The most common Air-Cooled 911 issue we address is Oil Leaks (Universal). Our approach: Case reseal addressing oil return tubes, chain tensioner gaskets, and case half sealing surfaces.

What does Air-Cooled 911 service cost for Cape Cod residents?

As an independent specialist, we're typically 20-40% less than dealer rates while providing Gold Meister expertise. Contact us for a detailed estimate specific to your Air-Cooled 911.
How often should Cape Cod air-cooled 911 owners change oil?
Air-cooled 911s should have oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. We use air-cooled specific oils (20W-50 or 15W-50) that handle the higher operating temperatures. For Cape Cod owners with cars that sit during winter, the 6-month interval is critical—moisture contamination in the oil is more damaging than mileage wear.
What does an air-cooled 911 engine reseal involve for Cape Cod owners?
An air-cooled 911 engine reseal addresses case half sealing surfaces, oil return tubes, chain tensioner gaskets, and valve cover gaskets. For Cape Cod owners, the key is addressing ALL common leak points during one service rather than chasing individual leaks over multiple visits. We also inspect chain tensioners, cooling fins, and ducting while the engine is accessible.
