@@TheBackRoads On all cars really. Often the washer will come with the filter. Not the case with the 944 though. If it doesn't leak then you'll be fine till the next oil change. I usually stock up on them so I always have them on hand. They are cheap.
@@P1983sche hope that works for you!!! Having a 951 for years you get to know some tricks !!!😀😀😀 as long as we are talking 944's maybe you will enjoy our NEW !!🤣🤣🤣 CAR. th-cam.com/video/hCHTXCKGf7U/w-d-xo.html
Loving the content after just purchasing a 944 too. Im a total noob/amateur mechanic so this is great. TIP: Stick a grade on your footage and up that contrast! Hard to see any detail and really quick colour edit on your footage will make all this pop so much nicer. (I think thats what the 'washy' comment was about.
I just got my 944 back and I just did all my fluids and all was relatively easy! I plan on driving back from NorCal to AZ! Good luck on the project further!
The chassis rails are pretty safe, the main point you’d want to avoid is the round protruding pucks on the front and rear. Those are often confused as jack points, but they are not reinforced and can easily collapse, which is why we see some cars with crushed sections on the kick panel. Those points were used to guide the cars along the production line during manufacturing. I don’t have a lift, so I just typically use the center “diamond” point to raise the car. Then jack stands should be placed under the cross member in the front and suspension torsion tube in the rear.
@@NC944er Oh that's really smart, I never thought of using the rear suspension. I've just been using a frame access cutout in the rear, but it's been damaging it.
never a good idea to jack a 944 using the inner rails as it will distort the floors and jam the throttle pedal ..its a common mistake in garages or MOT station Always use the chassis structural outer sills or wishbone pans
Welcome back to Project 944! We're so close now for the engine to finally turn after over a year of being dormant... we're excited 👀
Tip, you need a new drain plug crush washer every time you remove the plug. Cheap and is there to prevent leaks.
Is that a 944 specific thing or in general?

Just a tip !!! Before oil filter removal, turn on the headlight !!!! The linkage will rotate out of the way !!! 😎😎😎😎😎🇺🇸🇩🇪🍺
Thanks mate! We'll bear that in mind next time before we have half the cars oil-drenched all over us! 😂
That’s a great idea Art, I will do this from
now on. 😆

Have no fear, Sam! We used to film in V-LOG but have since switched our camera profile. Footage going forward should be more... colourful 😂
@@TheBackRoads No fear indeed! Nice one lads.
Man, every episode you guys put out is a treat! Always excited for the following episode.
Thank you so much!

Fantastic to hear! Thank you for your words of support.
Where are you jacking the car from in the front? I have an 88' turbo and I've always been hearing different opinions on where to jack it from there.
Because of the type of lift we're using, rear is from the lift points near the plastic trim, front we're using the chassis rail.
