Really want to thank you for you time and video, was very helpful. I think this was the easiest oil change I have completed outside of resetting the oil light. Purchased MAXIDIAG MD808 Professional OBDII Scanner and it worked well (i could not see the small red box on the number pad to set the date) . I am first time Porsche owner of a 2017 2.0. Thanks Again.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing. It's super clear.
A trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Kaiden Walter Yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Great video
hey, thank you for sharing your footage, i usually do top-sider way to do oil change on this vehicle, but i decided to drain extra a few old oil from the vehicle this time. my question is did you used the ramp on the front 2 tires of the vehicle or all 4 tires? was going to get jack stand, but i don't know how to jack up the macan.. lol
Just the front two. I have jacked up all 4 corners on the Macan to do the transmission fluid. From what I remember there is no center Jack point in the front. Rear I used the rear diff to lift the rear at one time
Pelican Parts has a good video on the lift points and the jack stand locations for your Macan. Essentially there are som e access panes\ls that have to be removed so you can get metal to metal contact for the jack stands. Or the rubber pucks to metal contact if you have them. th-cam.com/video/jV3PeXA6TN0/w-d-xo.html
Purchased the full oil change kit from FCP Euro last week - I know Porsche recommends Mobile 1. Any insight as to how LiquiMoly runs in the 2.0 4 Cyl engine? Good idea or bad idea?
No idea, I usually stick with Mobil1 in all my cars. Its cheap when you buy the 5 quart bottles and change often.
Good job on the video, horror job on the oil filter.
Are the drain plug and oil filter housing made of plastic? If yes, is there an upgraded aftermarket metal ones? And what material is the oil pan made of? It looks plasticky to me.
Yes, not sure I would not upgrade it because if you accidentally tighten then you will strip the pan. It’s simple to use the plastic version and they do not leak if you replace it every change.
What did you use for the obd2 reader? Can you use any of them or need a specific one?
You can use any, most of the modern ones should work but just read descriptions that say it can reset oil on vw audi or Porsche
Wilnomadic May I ask, What are you getting in terms of MPGs? I'm told, it is less than that of the Audi Q5, with the same engine.. Thank you..
Not sure, i think around 24-28 mpg
@@wilnomadic Thank you. Now, is that combined or is that hwy? vs City driving?
Sorry for the questions. I have been researching the Macan vs the S, vs the Turbo..
@@Kiss__Kiss 20/25 mpg, its on par with the spec posted by manufacturers
Coincidence with those ramps, I had mine recalled last week due to an apparent defect..
Will check mines thanks
My dealer always did my oil change when my Macan was under warranty. Now that the warranty is up, I will be doing my own oil changes. Dealer always used Mobil 1 ESP. I noticed you did not. I wonder if the ESP version is really necessary? It is hard to find. One NAPA store carries it but it is far from my house. Regular Mobil 1 is everywhere.
Never heard of ESP version so not too sure I just go off weight
@@wilnomadic I discovered the ESP version meets the Porsche C30 spec as noted in the owner's manual. The regular Mobil 1 does not.
@@rustyme1122 Ah thats good to know, will look into it for the next oil change. Looks like there is additives to protect emissions parts
@@rustyme1122 Hi, doesn't this engine use the C20 spec instead?
@@andoo1989triboi Nope.
Anyone else cringe on the over fill oil part? i was like "aww you had done so good so far"
I know... sorry still new in recording and editing 🤣
as a point of reference, crack the oil filter loose, until you barely see the gasket, and open the oil cap before draining the oil. so it all drains at the same time and it helps it drain faster. I advise on getting a hand pump extractor and get the engine oil to operating temp and extract it via the dipstick tube for ease, so you don't have to remove the belly pan and all that jazz every time. Yes, this method DOES extract/removal all the oil from the crankcase. also, on these engines, which VW and Audi use on 90% of their fleet, perform oil changes every 5k miles will save the engine from future issues with timing chain stretch/wear and oil consumption issues. I know this was poster 3 years ago, but keep an eye on the thermostat housing once you start getting into 50-60k miles as they tend to leak.
yepp. sucking out the oil through the oil dip stick..same method i use on my VW beetle. Even mechanics recommend that method.
This Macan does not have a dipstick. Extracting oil from above will not work
@@raymalig7249 It doesn't have a dipstick, but it has a dipstick tube where a dipstick would go (when the engine is used in other cars). See 5:08 in the video. It's just to the left and in front of the oil filter. Remove that cap and there's your dipstick tube.
The instrument panel shows Oil change how you made it disappear, and it will disappear naturally if the oil is changed.
You have to manually reset the oil change interval using any obd2 tool
Have you done the spark plugs?
Cee Los not yet but will probably do it soon as I am planing a 10k road trip and want everything to be in optimal condition
Thank you for sharing.
You need to get jack stands for your safety.
I have jack stands but found ramps fast for cars without a front center jack point. Sure I won’t get every drop of oil but I change it frequently.
@@wilnomadic those ramps alone are not safe enough. I mean ramp AND stands. That is what I do. Those ramps have been known to fail.
Wilnomadic Have you ever experienced "Any" oil leaks from this engine? I know the S and Turbo models are notorious for Timing cover leaks, among other types, But have yet to hear about the Base engine have any leaks... At this point, I am leaning towards getting a Base(4 Cyl.) Macan.
Thanks in advance... Also, any updates on yours??
PS: I thought I had subscribed before, but will do it again...
No leaks, that’s why I went with the base 4. Seemed like a reliable engine not being pushed hard. The turbo have issues at 65k but was replaced by Porsche under emissions warranty.
@@wilnomadic Ahh Okay, thank you very much for the update/info.
Would there be any problem with 2.0? For boîte pdk????
My car is 2.0 with PDK so no problem
@@wilnomadic How much did your car walk? km??
For thes engin 5 liters oil its ok !!?
Yes mine is always perfectly 5 liters
It’s an ea888 , can you just use an oil extractor to suck the oil out from the top ?
So I’ve actually checked and couldn’t find a oil extractor tube to attach it under the oil fill cap. Also this car doesn’t have a dip stick so could not use that method either
@@wilnomadic so it doesn’t have the dipstick but it has the dipstick tube. It’s right next to the front timing cover. Doesn’t that go to the oil pan ?
@@srsairbags will check it out soon, oil change coming up
so there is no torque restriction for how much u tighten the drain plug then??
You should not be torquing it hard, its a plastic plug so when you turn it in and snug.
@@wilnomadic Thanks. I was saying that other metal drain plugs (like the 911) there is a recommended torque number for tightening with a torque wrench .. I guess for this one u have to use judgement. Very nice video.
It’s a single set of threads so when it stop turning that’s as far as you can go
It snaps into place
Can't believe what a giant PITA some simple maintenance is on these (and other) cars.
This is the tip of the iceberg
Some, like BMW have virtually turned their cards into sealed black boxes. Their philosophy is simple: when the light goes on, bring it in along with your checkbook. Really NO excuse for designing a car like this. My Outback (no, I'm not comparing the two...) is therapeutic compared to this. Oil changes rarely take more than 15 minutes.
This is stupid easy, the longest part of the process is letting all the oil drain. What’s the issue here?
@@Jushwa I think removing the lower drivetrain shield alone is almost 15 mins when lying on the ground upsidedown
You didn't mention how much oil to put in?
Johnny amaya think it said 4.5 quarts but I ended up using 4.8 quarts
Is this the same VW EA888 Engine?
It is the same engine so yes
Dude just get you a hand vacuum pump kit to change the oil From up top the motor....Where the oil filter is anyway as well.
Always how I have done oil changes but the drain plug is plastic and want to replaces those as plastic become brittle after many heat cycles. Cheap insurance IMHO.
The oil filter clicks into the housing before you screw it in I thought
I am not sure what you mean clicks in. It’s just screws on there is no stopper like a gas cap that clicks.
If you push the filter hard into the plastic housing it snaps in, then I screw it into the engine after. I don’t think it matters tho, you’re just doing it in a different order, it probably snaps in once you tighten the housing down.
Lol. This guy doesn't pay attention when he is refilling. All the oil is gushing out the bottom of the funnel. Basic mechanic 101 keep your eyes open for fluid leaks. you might of saved few bucks but I'm sure if you go Porsche they won't spill oil all over the place.
Great video ... I dont remove the plugs at 1.40 I.. its a real pain getting them out. I just put the drain pan on the bottom guard and prop it up with a wooden 2X4 tomato it horizontal. Also I used 0w40 as against Sw-30 (accidentally.. since I have a 911 as well). Is that going to be bad for my engine or shall I run 5K miles before changing it again? Thanks
I can’t imagine the oil weight will destroy an engine but better safe than sorry. I just changed my parents oil because some shop added 5w-30 instead of 0w-40 in their Mercedes. I was feeling odd vibrations and sluggishness. After the change it was smooth.
Where did you purchase the drain plugs?
fcp euro
Personally, That oil lever is good, I would not top it off. I always leave it at half point or less .
James Kang how many miles do you have and do you have any oil burning issue? I had to add 1 quart since the last oil change after 8k miles
No burning oil issue. Mine is 2017. 2.0 base with 40,120 miles. I did take my car to dealer at 32,000 mile for oil leak. My garage floor had small puddle of oil . So I try to find source of leak by visual inspection but just could not find it. After 3 visit to dealer, culprit turned out to be my oil filter ring seal. It has slow leak. I bought after market filters at Amazon (6pack in box)and its seal is just little bit out of spec. It looks little bit thinner.
Do you have a oil leak on the floor? Anyways I welcome you to contact me for any Macan issue. I love to share info.
James Kang no oil leaks fortunately I have 70k on my car and the only issue was the turbo going bad recently. Porsche replaced it for free under emissions warranty. Sounds good let’s keep in touch. Are you also on the forums?
James Kang hi I cant see the whole comment, so does ur car have oil leak problem?
You should put oil into the new filter before replacing. Also, change oil every 5k miles.
Just like my golf but sideways 🤣 somehow mine holds 6.5 quarts tho
yup I just found out this was the same engine, easy to find parts and simple service.
Torque specs?
The oil filter should have the torque number on the cap. I just hand tighten and add an extra quarter turn to tighten. The oil drain you do not need to tighten hard you will feel it click into place it does not take much effort so be careful and its plastic.
Thank you , I just found that out ,
You spill lots of oil 🤔
Yea... was trying to record and work. Should have redone that shot but was lazy lol
I turned wrong plug, I turned plug from the back, right now I overfill with oil. I'm fucked.
The transmission fluid plug? It’s not too hard to fill.
@will818 Yes, I was confused with the 2021porsche Macan's Trans plug with engine oil plug, so stupid!
So much oil is being spilled onto the engine. Please slow down your pours next time!! Otherwise good vid!
whats the problem to pour fast ?
Lol this is so wrong, these cars require 0w20 c30 oils not this generic M1 oils that go in Kias
Are you in colder climates or higher elevation? Motor oil is different per regions. 0w40 is usually used for other German cars here in California but the Macan is recommended 5w30. How is M1 generic?
