- In this video I will show you how to do an oil change on a Porsche 911 991.2 (2017+) 3.0 Litter Twin Turbo engine.
The first step, not shown on the video, is to get the vehicle on a ramp or jack stands to have clearance below the car. I used a pair of 4" ramps on the back.
Please remember to follow safety precautions when doing any work on your vehicle. I am not responsible for any accidents, damages or any liability whatsoever for any errors or omission on this video.
This video is solely for the purpose of demonstrating how I performed an oil change on my 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera T.
Enjoy! Alex_C - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Thanks again, I watch before every oil change just for a refresher
Beautiful watch. Great car. Your video is unbelievable informative instructions. Thank you for posting, I also have 911 - 2018 and it has only 4K miles :-), and because of your video I will do my first EVER oil change job in my life. Any new video PLEASE share. Thanks !!!
Just finished OIL CHANGE.
Just as advertised. Step by steps are GREAT.'
No hiccups.
Mine took 9 quarts with about 0.5--0.75 of a quarts STILL SHORT that probably would reach the MAX level.
Thanks for my STIMULUS CHECK!
Good video.
BTW- You made me cringe when you removed the engine oil filter cap, you used a torque wrench. I was taught during my aviation maintenance training days that you should never 'break torque" with a torque wrench. Doing so can put a torque wrench out of calibration. You should have used a breaker bar or a ratchet. Then use the torque wrench to tighten the oil filter cap to the recommended torque when installing the cap.
Thanks for a straight forward, no stupid music, or showboating. Thanks again.
I can't even cook pasta with two hands and you changed the oil on Porsche one handed!
Great video! Thanks for the instructions. I plan on changing the oil in my T today and will follow this procedure.
Appreciate the video. Not many DIY for this particular year. You just got yourself a new subscriber 👍👍
Great video Alex. Thanks for sharing and good job doing it one handed! Any more videos of your DIY's would be appreciated.
Surprised no one has commented on the beautiful SkyDweller 😉 great vid, will be using on my 2017 base this weekend.
Thank you Joel! Love this watch, took it off shortly after starting the video. Good luck with your oil change.
Thanks, well done. you should rename it " the one handed 911 oil change"
Alex,
Thanks for the great STEP by STEP video.
Looks no more complicated than an OIL CHANGE for my G36 Bonanza.
Will be giving it a try.
Well done! Thank you. Looking forward to delivery!
Excellent job. Everything I needed was there.
Excellent. Very informative in it’s simplicity. Thanks 👍🏼
Way to go A_C!!!!! Sweet video!! Dont need to do one now, LOL
Great video thanks. I am going to try to it as well now after watching your videos.
Amazing
Good Job! A couple of pointers. I would use a regular 1/2 in wrench to loosen the oil cap. Get a deep oil pan without cover to avoid splashing. Use Porsche grease instead of oil on the oil filter gasket. Cover the air intakes after removing the housing, you don’t want anything dropping into the air filters and having to remove the rear bumper.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Kristopher Lennon instablaster =)
@Thaddeus Hezekiah I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Thaddeus Hezekiah it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Kristopher Lennon No problem xD
Super film, super materiał o porsche 911 991 trzymaj tak dalej pozdrawiam.
Great video. Just followed it to the letter on my 2018 991.2 c2CAB
2012 911 3.4L no need to remove fans, just loosen the fan deck, move up spoiler, and oil filter is easy access with 6 inch socket extension 36mm cap easy/fast removes the oil filter. Suncoast Parts DE excellent genuine parts, FYI filter was $16.00 with shipping and all filters come from Austria, or Germany, no fake parts. Also, found to loosen oil fill cap, never leave it open, crazy how stuff can fall in there. Thanks for video!
OUTSTANDING JOB!!
Awesome. Great video.
Will do my Carrera T oil tomorrow, great video !
How did it go?
I’m from Brazil. Congratulations for your explanation
Great video. This looks a hell of a lot easier to perform than on a 718 Cayman.
Good info...thanks for sharing.
Lot a help. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🙏
Excellent video ! Respect from Dubai ✌️
Hi and so thx for your vidéo its amazing
Beautiful Porsche and Rolex Sky Dweller 💯
Thank you. I had an almost successful first oil change in my 2018 Targa. It was awkward trying to contort my body to get access from above while ducking the huge rear shield/window. The last jug, with only three quarts of oil in it, overpowered the oil fill and dripped all through the engine where it finally pooled on the floor. Stupid mistake, but I was looking through the glass, holding the big funnel with one hand, and pouring the jug of oil with the other. Fortunately I had the air intake blocked with rags! Brake-Clean and some more contortionist arm work had me back in business. Another note... I had bought the trim tool kit from Suncoast. The tools are flimsy and I had difficulty pulling out the connectors. What brand of trim tool are you using? Again thank you for your kind post! Very much appreciated by all!
Good video. I would recommend changing the drain plug gasket each time.
Thanks! Actually I replaced the plug altogether. The plug costs around $5 and comes complete with the gasket.
great video. thanks!
informative video and nice watch :)
Great video, it’s going to be a pain to replace that engine air filter. The rear bumper has to be removed.
Great Video Sir, very well done. My buddy Tor has the white T in Houston. I drove it the other day and really liked it. love the torque from the turbo motor. Much better than my GT4... actually thinking about selling the GT4 and replacing with a T.
Thank you Stephen! Yes, the T is a great car. How did you like Tor’s Bucket Seats? They look fantastic!
A C I have the same in my GT4 so of course I really like that set up. I would do the same if I ordered a T. I really like the Pepita inserts he put on the seats as well. It brings me back to when I was much younger, my first 911 was a 72’ 911 T . The car brings back good memories so I feel compelled to get one. I would miss my GT4 but I feel I would get more use out of the car and ultimately more enjoyment....
Great video and I do enjoy watching it!!! Keep up the good work😊
BTW the oil drain plug is made of plastic🤭
Nice video my Texan and European neighbor! I would put a cloth or mat on the spoiler when tightening the oil filter... you made me nervous! One slip and you have a scratched spoiler!
Thank you! You are right, I will definitely do that next time! ;)
Nice watch.
Good eye! ;) The blue Skydweller is one of my favorites!
Thanks! Cheers!
Saw your post on rennlist when you finally got your T! Love your spec! Maybe one day! Trying to decide between the red, silver, and white, but after seeing yours, I'm convinced! Do you regret not getting Porsche entry and drive? Any other features that you think you should've gotten? Would be great if you could share your spec sheet!
Thank you for your kind words! I've had entry and drive in all of my cars for the last 6 or so years, and in the past that was one of my must-have options. BUT for the Carrera T I decided, fully aware of it, to leave it out of my build. Why? First of all, it was a nod of Porsche's of the past, which in a way is what the T is all about. Second, I wanted to be more involved, almost reminded every time I had to get the key out, insert it on the left and started the engine that this car is "special". Finally, with a nice color-matched keyfob, I wanted to actually use the key, and not just keep it in my pocket unseen.
I can tell you that I got exactly the options I wanted, and not a single regret.
Here's the list of options:
GT Silver
Black Leather interior with T - Pkg, w/ Red Dev. Stitching
7 SP Manual Transmission
Rear Axle Steering (LOVE IT!!!)
Front Axle Lift (Great for every day usability)
Sport Chrono
Heated Multifunction GT Steering Wheel
Leather Interior Pkg (Incredible all leather interior with red contrast stitching)
Leather Steering Column w/ Dev. Stitching (You see it every time right in front of you!)
Shifter Boot w/Deviated Stitching (Homemade. I removed the boot and re-stitched in red thread to match)
4-Way Seats (Lighter and extremely comfortable) Loved the look of the Bucket seats, but not very practical.
Bose
Lane Change Assist (particularly useful at night)
Auto Dim.Mirrors
Aluminum look Gas Cap (Useless, but puts a smile on my face every time I fill the tank)
LED Headlights w/PDLS+
Tinted Taillights (Looks great with GT Silver)
Glass Sunroof (LOVE the look of the all-black roof from the outside. Open or tilt the sunroof and the spoiler goes up another notch, almost like a duck tail)
Heated Seats
Smoking Package (Adds a little covered lid to the otherwise ugly looking cub hole on the console)
Passenger side Net (Hey, it;s free!)
Voice Control (Another $0 cost option)
Model Designation Delete (Prefer the look of just the Porsche name, with no model name)
Vintage 911_T Badges (Like the look of the old badge).
And also added Clear front side reflectors, Sullivan Racing Pedals and the front Lid Liner.
Thanks AC! One day! I checked with my local dealer in UAE, and they only got 5 allocations which they built out themselves. None on order. They only have a yellow one left, which actually looks great but it's got some options that I don't want or missing the ones that I want. Let's see!
Yes, you got it! Highly recommended. Grippy, comfortable and cool looking. ;)
good post, thanks. Just one thing on the oil volume thing; my owners manual states to check the oil with the engine at operating temperature but shut off for at least one minute. Did I hear your engine running when you were checking the level? Oil 'in the system and not in the pan may account for the reported low volume.
Good point!
Good video. Well done. The electric oil gauge is strange. I started with 7.5 quarts. It said I was low. I added another half and I was good. 350 miles later it was down a bar. But I didn't add anything. the next day it showed full again.
Thank you! Yes, sometimes the electronic oil gauge goes a little crazy. I once had that exact same thing happened on my Macan GTS.
Thanks!
Great video. I’ve now done an intermediate oil change on my T. Can I ask how you have secured the 911T badge on the hood I would like to do the same to mine. Regards Jeremy.
Here's a DIY post I wrote on Rennlist explaining how to do it in detail:
rennlist.com/forums/991/1067158-over-engineering-a-simple-task.html
Great video, Think I'll just fro to the Porsche dealer. Wrench might be best with handle on left side. Only cleared spoiler by a millionth of an inch:)
Great video! Did you say you ordered parts from the P-dealership? Yikes. I've saved a lot ordering the exact same OE Mahle or Mann from Amazon. You should consider using a fluid evacuator. Sucking the oil out through the fill port is revolutionary with zero mess or getting under the car. Do you have a single daughter? I can send my resume to join the family. LOL.
I'm surprised you didn't do the air filters when you did the oil change. I know it is more of a pain, but you was already half way there. At any rate, it was a great video and I always enjoy watching technical videos. This one was very informative with torque specs and all.
Thank you Jason! I didn't do the filters as they were basically new. If I recall correctly, the car had only 3,000 miles so the filters would have been overkill. Also, to remove the rear bumper to do the filter change I would've needed my assistant (aka son), who was off to college... hahaha.
Nice video, easier than expected!!! where did you buy the blue tool for unclipping?
I got a full kit from Amazon for under $10. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/CandyHome-Auto-Trim-Removal-Tool/dp/B075YF7XVQ/
Thank You!!!
Cool. I love balloons!!
Do you reset the maintenance count computer with an electronic tool or just ignore the message on the dash? If using a tool, which one do you recommend?
What should I do if I am getting an indicator light that says "oil above maximum?" Drain a little or siphon? Thank you!
You can try draining it a little bit carefully. That is why is better to start with less oil, then level off the car and top it off little by little as needed.
Nice video. Do I need to reset the oil change reminder?
If it was one of the scheduled maintenance intervals, I would suggest to reset it. I normally do an intermediate oil change between "official oil changes" and I don't reset the reminder at that time.
@@alexc7591 does resetting the reminder require a special tool or can it be done by the owner?
What do you do for a living Alex? We know it isn't Porsche mechanic
Where did you get the rear vent louver with the 911 logo?
Good job, I have the new 992 and I think I will take it to the dealer, to scared to touch lol 😂.
Yeah better off, all of that delicate parts and just let the professionals handle it
So what's Porsche's upcharge for the Lizard Green gasket on the filter housing?
About $6.95
Hi Alex, thanks for sharing! I changed the oil and replaced the filters (air and oil) but the spoiler is not actuating now. Any thoughts?
Have you checked the fuse? Also make sure you didn't leave any rags or tools that could be jammed in the mechanism.
@@alexc7591 Thanks for the response, I found that ECU needs to be rebooted and problem is fixed!!!!
Yes, Go buy a new 992 Turbo S :)
I change oil in my Carrera T today , and after I fill it with 7 and 1/2 quotes computer ask for another 1 and 1/3 . I am thinking since I used ramp for only rear wheels and lift rear end only I drain more oil vs level drain . Any ideas? Thank you . Took me about 20 min
That should be about right.
Double check capacity, my 2012 911 is exactly 5.46 quarts.
Where did you get that 911T emblem on the rear air vents? I want one! It looks great!
You can get it from any Porsche dealership for around $60. The part number is 90155931122
And here is a post I did on Rennlist on how to install it: rennlist.com/forums/991/1067158-over-engineering-a-simple-task.html
And congrats on your T!
How did you re set the on board computer? Any advice here?
I did not reset the computer. Reason is, I still want the dealer to perform the 10k service (free) when the time comes. I am doing an additional service in between official intervals, so no reset is needed.
I hope they come out with replacement aluminum oil pan soon, can't believe they went plastic
The question is, how long did u let the oil drain. That's the real question. Thanks. Just so I can know how busy work is gonna be when ppl in my area follow the how to. Which is WRONG. No 100% wrong but you missed very very important step. Meaby the most important one thx cheers
I let the oil drain for well over an hour. And from the amount of oil it took to re-fill it, I would say it was more than enough time, and definitely more time than what your average dealer would wait for it to drain. By the way, you can see at 9:30 that not a single drop of oil is dripping from the oil pan, so I would say it drained long enough...
Would mind enlightening us on what is the most important step that I missed?
My 3.4L 911, the entire fan assembly comes off with the fans and you do not remove anything else. Use a 6 inch ratchet extension with 36mm socket and oil cover comes right out. Use a plastic utensil to remove the oil ring, never use a metal tool. No need to touch the cable assembly. 18 pounds of torque is snug, do not over tighten. Place small amount of oil on filter cap and place small amount of oil on new oil ring to seal it. The oil capacity is exactly 5.46 USA quarts, not a drop more. Do this very slowly, add full Mobil one 0-20w 5 quarts oil for Porsche (label from Mobil says Porsche on it) then use single quart mobil oil to add 1/2 quart. Then start engine, let run to temperature. Stop and let settle then check oil. Add only 1oz at a time, with continued checking, if you overfill, you will kill your catalytic converter costing $$$$$$. Mobil oil at Walmart 5 quarts is only $22.00 on East coast. what a bargain!
is your car a 991.1 or 991.2, @Edward Szostak?
Those fir tree connectors are not made to be removed. They get damaged when removing them.
Is there a PORSCHE recommended TORQUE for the OIL PLUG re-install?
There is really not much torque. You will feel it when it locks into place.
@@alexc7591 Thanks Alex...will give you/thread feedback when I complete.
Are the wheel ramps required to get access to drain?
Yes, wheel ramps or some other means of raising the rear of the car. (Alex C used 4-inch ramps in this video; I used 2.5-inch ramps (Amazon), and I got 'er done, but 4-inch ramps would clearly have made it easier.) You could probably get the job done with a floor jack, but I'd suggest using jack stands or some solid wood blocking under a suitable support point for safety while removing and re-installing the drain plug.
@@johnholz394 I have a Jack and stands, but seems ramps are easier to use?
I find it funny that people complain about fram oil filters having cardboard end caps on them and a $100k+ German high performance car has it on theirs.
Bunch of office chair experts.
Sky Dweller oil change ...
Ha ha, I know, I should've taken it off... too eager to get started right away!
Thank you for posting the video. Great spec on your 911, the badge delete and 991T emblem on the rear deck are perfect. Enjoy!!
Thank u🌷but alot of plastic parts.🤔oil cap🙄
The first thing I would be doing is removing that Rolex 😀
God Job but buy the special tool for the oil you have a porsche
I actually do have the tool, just wanted to show how to do it for those that most likely don't have it... :)
That oil had at least half of life left.
Yes, I know, but I wanted to do the first oil change after the break-in. Just a little peace of mind for a few bucks... and some fun!
What looked like a plastic oil pan bummed me out. I imagine as it ages, it will be more prone to cracking when its hit by road debris.
VW Golf has the same plastic type drain pan with the exact same plastic drain plug. Works ok so far; fingers crossed.
Yeah, that's not all that they made plastic, plastic coolant pump too. kind of cracks me up when you see the price tag
Remember, Glocks are plastic, and they work just as well if not better than most other handgun designs. There is certainly no problem with durability of modern polymers when they are engineered properly.
I think 997.2 is much easier.
