911 GT3 RS - Oil Change and Cabin Filter Change
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2025
- It's time for an oil change in the GT3 RS. It has been about a year and 5,000 miles. While I'm in maintenance mode I decided to change the cabin filters, too.
For oil I use Amsoil Premium Synthetic European Car Formula SAE 5W-40

Stay tuned for more crazy!
Wow, life after college is so boring. I'm either changing my own oil or watching someone on youtube change theirs. I need to find a less expensive hobby LOL
That unemployed life, same here
9:31 - 10:14 was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm saving for a nice car and being able to do my own maintenance is essential to my pick. Thanks for the video.
The reason you would change the oil hot is so that any heavier sediments would be lifted and suspended in the oil. Where as when you do it cold the heavy sediments tend to stay at the bottom of the oil pan.
Also helps to eliminate sludge build up right?
NISMO MIKE yes and no sludge build up can be from not changing the oil frequently enough. What happens is the oil starts to break down, losing its viscosity and becomes sludgy. But letting the oil heat up then changing it more frequently can help reduce and engine build up. Basically Changing it cold and frequently won’t cause a build up but it won’t get all the heavy sediments or dirt.
Matt always loved the content but that filter tightening had us OG fans on edge. Hand tighten only!!!!
It's just fine. I like to tighten Porsche filter a bit more. It's super stout.
@@ObsessedGarage Hand tighten and then some :D
If you over tighten it’s not so much about stripping the filter but rather pinching the o-ring which can cause it to leak. Hand tight for me only but always follow factory maintenance manual procedures.
I think it's great that you're making videos like this, putting yourself out there. It is easy to be a sofa critic, criticize every detail.
It's funny. How could anyone possibly know how tight I'm putting my oil filter on? Ha, ha... This is like the 15th oil change video I've done, and everyone tells me I'm doing it all wrong every single time.
Hey, Matt! Great choice with Amsoil. I have been using it since 1990 and a dealer for 15 years. It truly is the best. The Project Farm channel had a nice controlled test which Amsoil won. I'm happy to sign you up!
I only put about 5K a year on my car and also do once a year oil changes. Although in 18 years and 290,000 miles worth of oil changes I have never once pre-filled an oil filter. Mine is sideways on the back side of the block facing the firewall so it’s really not possible. Never had any issues.
That sure is a magical time changing oil with a nice car lift like that. I get fed up sliding my body under the car multiple time all cramped and dark.
Thank you for this great video! It is a big motivation to do these thingies on my own
An oil filter should be hand tightened - you put it on way too tight using that huge wrench - hence the excessive tightness when taking the old one off. Just saying.....
It will be just fine.
@@ObsessedGarageyea right the jacka** that gave me my mustang literally said that same thing
Changed the oil on my 981 last weekend and figured out that iCarsoft scan tool can show a live reading of the oil level sensor without the engine on. In the shop manual it specifies the oil level necessary to prevent engine harm. Not quite as easy as a dip stick but I found it really nice piece of mind before I turned on the engine. Thought you might be interested in that trick too Matt.
Eww...that's what I need!
Hello Obsessed, thank you for sharing this video. How many drain bolts are there in total? And could you please let me know the size of the hex wrench?
There are 2.
Next time just cut that bottle a haft and use at funnel, oil filter only hand tight and drain plug quarter turn torque.
Your engine is clean. I just bought a 2018 GT3 with 1900 miles and there is oil residue on the back of the engine and the skid plate/diffuser is oily. It doesn't drip oil on the ground but I don't think it's right.
Filling the filter up helps prevent dry starts but with your filter being sideways obviously you can’t fill it up prior. Amsoil is all I use in all my cars and small engines.
Hey FAB
Ouzo Lou Garage Hey Steve
Is there a specific reason you use the “euro car oil” rather than the “signature series” stuff?
There is only one version of 5W-40.
Typical brands that offer a euro version of the same weight have additives in it to make the oil last longer to meet the longer service intervals of euro engines.
Hey Matt great videos. Thanks for doing them.
After adding the 7.25 quarts of oil, was that enough or did you have to add more?
That was all it needed
@@ObsessedGarage I added 7 quarts to my 2019 gt3rs and now I’m getting a message that there is too much oil. This electronic oil measuring system is difficult. Should I just wait and see if this error message resolves itself?
It will likely go away. It's super annoying and is a real problem on all the 991 generation cars.
Over torque ?
Yep...engine blew up last night.
Obsessed Garage bwahaha, now you’re just getting tired of replying.
I Love to Change The Oil In My M550D It makes me Feel Satisfied Cause i know i Used the Best Possible Oil The Best Filter , i waited enough time for thr oil to Drain.. i cleaned everything , didnt over filled ,etc
No torque wrench for the drain plug? You’re not that good.
It's not rocket science.
You want to put a bar on your ratchet while your tightening that drain plug wow. I think it’s tight enough. Don’t forget to put an impact on that oil filter too
I have a perfectly calibrate wrist that is precise to .001 ft.lb.
Holy sh%t never thought I’d say I would much rather change the oil in a GT3RS than a mini cooper
Sense no one has commented about the tightening of the oil filter, I'll say that if you put the filter too tight the o-ring can actually bulge out and cause a major leak.
Yeah...engine exploded last night. I'll make sure to hand tighten next time.
What brand of lift are you using
Holy crap, you're the guy every tech hates! Filter should be Hand tightened only!
Please...it's just fine.
Sure more torque than 20Nm what mahle specs
@@ObsessedGarage The old one was way to tight. They don't tighten on there own.
Ha, ha... How could you possibly know that?
Huracan vs gt3rs
Which is cheap to maintain and easy to work on
Which is more reliable
That's no contest, GT3 RS.
Hey Matt
Love the content as always. Could you list the part numbers of the oil and cabin filters. Also the wrench sizes.
Best
Jan
Matt, there is a tool out there for oil filters like ours that progressively adjust under pressure on the end of the oil filter I wonder if you would have room to use one of those? I just barely do on my flat six, boy does it work nice once you’re done with tension to quickly releases off the back, I will take a picture and leave it on your Facebook page.
I have a bunch of oil filter tools. On this car the OE socket works best.
Any reason the Amsoil vs Motul 8100?
Will the GT3 RS still be visiting the dealer in the future for servicing also?
There is no need. There is no service in the next 25,000 miles on this that I can't do on my own.
@@ObsessedGarage Of course, but don't Porsche require dealer servicing to honour warranty claims?
No, they can't do that.
God forbid all the guys on the fb page see you using amsoil after earlier today lol
I’m due for an oil change on my 991.2 gt3 . I’ve been getting the “ Service Due” or some such message . Can we reset that code or does a Porsche dealer need to reset the oil change reminder ?
You can, but you need a tool. I have this one: amzn.to/3apo7X7
You should replace washers every time, when plugs are loosened.
Yes,...... "Best Practice".
Oh man dont play with the OCD.
These are new plugs and washers.
@@mayorca13 especially with hollow form seal
Going have to try out Amsoil oil.
Why don't you tell us what grade of oil you use, l suppose you think it's classified!
What?
have you seen chicago auto pros on youtube? I am interested in what you think about their work, more specifically the paint correction portion.
I know Jason. I absolutely love what he is doing.
@@ObsessedGarage that is great. i think of you as the professional. just wanted to get your take. thanks
Matt what about the Porsche service history, in the UK this makes a huge difference to the re-sell price and as such you have to take the car to the main dealer for servicing. Is it not the same in the US to keep a main dealer service history and maximise the re-sell price ?
no, not at all. Records help but......
I used to be meticulous about documenting and keeping receipts for everything. I've bought and sold a lot of cars and no one ever cared about any of it, so I quit caring. I do have an advantage in that I make videos of the stuff, so I'm in a bit of a unique situation. I view having a dealer do the servicing on a car as a negative if I were buying one.
Awesome video. Might have been mentioned but if you're in a pinch you can slice up the first oil bottle across after you empty it to make your own quick funnel. Love seeing the maintenance/wrenching vids!
What gloves do you use?
You should become an Amsoil dealer I know I’d order from you!! Love the oil hate having to find a dealer 🤬
Is GT3 rs a wet or dry sump setup?
Ever used Motul Mat? I might try Amsoil next.
For brake fluid, but not oil.
What’s the name of your portable work light?
It's from Milwaukee.
Obsessed Garage thank you
How do you dispose of the oil after you empty the reservoir?
I think I just take it to an oil changing place.
Staples carries a 3'x4' desk chair mat that would be used in a carpeted office for $35. Check one out to lay over the swisstrax when using the oil drain, no clunky movement as the casters will glide smoothly. I'm sure it would tuck nicely behind the cabinets for storage.
Really enjoyed that Matt, always wondered where all the filters were on a modern 911, as you know the e92 m3 is even easier than the porsche, I do mine every October only do 3000 miles per year, but change all the filters for piece of mind, I've also bought a pressure brake bleeder and catch bottle to do my brake fluid also. How often do you change your brake fluid Matt ??? 👍👍
I haven't had a car long enough in recent years to do the brake fluid.
I just bought 991 gt3 Rs is it the same as 991.2? Thanks
There is a 2016 .1 and 2019 .2.
Fumoto oil plug valve.
How much does porsche charge u for an oil change?
I think it's like $250.
@@ObsessedGarage not bad, thanks 4 the info
No air filter change?
He had BMC high flow engine air filters and don't need to be changed just clean them
Amsoil? Thats good quality?
Yep...
Obsessed Garage haha that was informative 😂🤣👊🏼
All I would have done differently is torque the drain plugs and hand tighten that filter, not the end of the world that you didn’t. At least your not afraid of working on it 👍🏻
Matt, Your 911 is to Die for. I would change nothing. Except perhaps drive it a bit more :)
I love your realistic commentary. A total dudes dude, also love seeing you use amsoil per the project farm videos
5000 miles OCI is Perfect ! Oil is a taste, but i would have never used this expensive oil, i have UOA"s that can prove that, i allways looking for the Porsche A40 certification
Check out the project farm oil shootout. Great content to let you see the real world testing of oil
@@JordanPayneLV yes i have watched the whole oil testing series with great interest, in my opinion there very little difference in quality among the oils tested
7.5 liters is 7.92 quarts. ;)
Matt, you do really need to use a torque wrench on those drain plugs: you are "cranking" on those as if they are bolts with steel threads! They are aluminum! And when, not if, you strip or tear up a thread you won't like the repair (heli coil etc.) so what is left..... replacing the casting?
Its striking that you are so concerned with many other details on other matters, but when it comes to relevant and significant details , like torque specs - to prevent ruining threads , you shrug your shoulders! Don't say we didn't mention it..... the day is coming.

This isn't rocket science. You can easily do it by feel.
Wow, way to demonstrate a total lack of understanding and experience when it comes to engineering and mechanics. ‘You can easily do it by feel” ..... really? Thank goodness Stefan warned your viewers. I would hate for someone the watch this video and think you had a clue when it comes to proper maintenance/mechanic practices. There is a reason good-n-tight is not listed as a torque spec.
well that oil filter is on good and tight (German torque specification ) !!!!!
valve monky Yep, gudentight! Matt’ll see that next time ‘round.
@@Aardvark49 might need a longer spanner to get it off
@@valvemonky4734 No kidding. He really cranked it on there.
How could you know that?
If you watch Project Farm, Amsoil won the oil playoff showdown between Pennzoil. Seems like it is solid oil (disregard the price).
I just wipe the dust off, because, I can.
:))
Why do you use the "improved" formula and not the "classic" formula? I thought improved was for diesels.
Amsoil🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Don’t know why you don’t use eye protection.
He's only changing the oil, not exactly something you'd need eye protection for.
@@vongdong10 Yeah maybe - unless one day you splash some oil in your eye. Then you'll see as the saying goes. It's just smart practice.
How funny Subaru must’ve copied a lot of the Porsche set up because my oil filter is pretty much the same set up except well my engine is in the front! 🤷🏼♂️
If watching this cuz this ur dream car, like
What's up easy money
I almost have to disagree about everything here… come on… we all love and pet our beloved 911,s , and take good care of them especially the GT3.
…oil drain done cold ? Prefilled Oil filter makes no sense? Torque setting on oil filter doesn’t matter.ect 🤔
No, no Sir🤷♂️
Yes
Next time just warm the engine up and oil will pour right out. We all have to learn a lesson. Love the video not many owners would do there own oil change.
Yeah... I talked about the early in the video.
This best car I drove man! Gt3rs
Not 100% sure, but you may have put your cabin filter in backwards.
The logo did go in opposite that it came out, maybe its double sided
over torquing !
Nah...my wrist is calibrated to .001 ft.lb.
Obsessed Garage my apologies 😜
👌🏼
viel falsch gemacht beim Oelservice
Mice vid.
Matt, I see you have not so far decided to buy that lightweight battery that takes 42 pounds out of the car. I send you the Motoiq link couple months ago. If you still are interest to pull quite a bit of weight from the front very easily. As you have in the rear with this AWE lightweight exhaust. But maybe lost the link. Here it is again.

this is cringy af
worst oil change ever.
