Watched a lot of these DIYs - this is the best one by far with all the detailed steps, naming specific parts, links, and specifications, thank you!
Welcome! I appreciate that. I don’t always get it perfect but I strive to get straight to the point with non fluff and carefully just all the details out. And the film the tough areas that a lot people skip or don’t tell you how they got it done.
Very good video. I changed my cayenne coupe oil change in less than hour. Dealer by me wanted $699 plus tax. Mind blowing prices.
Did you reset the light? And if so, did you use the one recommended?
Great video. Would love to see more DIYs on this Cayenne!
Thanks! I’ll try to work on some more!
Really great straight forward and no BS video. Thanks!
I appreciate that! I’m trying to get right to the point, no fluff and easy to hear voice over. I’m glad it’s working for ya!
Thanks for that video. I have a Macan S MY 2020 with the 3.0 engine and wonder if the torque spec of 37 lb. ft. is the same. Where did you find that number?
Best Cayenne DIY oil change video, thanks for sharing! I have some leftover 0W-20 oil for my previous car but it’s not ESP, can I still use it?
Welcome. Honestly I don’t have an answer for you. If it was me would not mix oils. Not worth the risk.
No, this esp oil is totally different. Different color (greenish) and ages differently.
😁행운을 빌어. 항상 건강하세요
Why did you use the aftermarket drain plug and is it made of Aluminum? The OEM is aluminum and replaced every oil change due to possible stripping of the torx drive. If plug is steel you are mating a dissimilar metal to the oil pan!!! Please Reply if this is still an active post. Great video, I recently purchased a 2022 Base and will do my own oil changes!
This is a very good question. I had to do some digging because I couldn’t remember why I chose that exact plug since it’s been a while. But with a little research, I remembered that it was a source and availability problem. It would take a week or two to get a Porsche OEM drain plug and then pay $15 shipping. I was able to get this one in just a few days and complete the job. It is made by a company that has OEM equivalent product and is brand replacement on Porsche and Audi. You make a good point about the dissimilar metals. But I really can’t imagine that this German company would make a product with different metals than the oil pan. Otherwise they’d have people complaining and no one would buy their products and the future. I tried to figure out what the plug is made out of, but it’s too hard to tell. it feels heavier than aluminum, but it’s also coated with some type of black zinc on top. Generally oil drain plugs are replaced each time because the crush washer cannot be reused. That is the brass ring around it. I haven’t heard of the torques being stripped because you do not torque them down very much at all. But I suppose that’s possible. Where did you hear that? It’s so hard to find good. Accurate information on servicing a Porsche because the company hides all of the material And manuals. If you have any concern with that dream plug then certainly order the OEM one and use that instead. They’re only about $10 no matter what brand you use. I bought 4 of them so I’ll be good for a while. If I have any issues with the drain plug, I will report back.
@@fixitwithjake I found this Video where he talks about stripping the head but he calls it a Hex slot not Torx Bit? You must know that you can buy the crush washer separate and maybe reuse your plug. Know that I have not accomplished this oil change yet as I just bought it back in March 8100 miles on it right now. We have an RX350 that I change oil every 5K (Her Car)! I hate driving the Lex since I bought the Cayenne! The Porsche Dealer does charge an Arm and Leg for their yearly Oil Change and Maintenance! Anyways here is the link: th-cam.com/video/26Sz9t6LeIo/w-d-xo.html
Mobil 1 ESPx2 0W-20 oil is available at Walmart in a 5 quart jug for only $27.97! It is the absolute cheapest VW 508/Porsche C20 oil you can buy. And considering that ExxonMobil supplies VW group with the VW/Audi branded oil, that is not a bad deal, indeed. Also, the 3.0L single turbo EA839 engines will require 7.7 quarts to get to the fill line when the sump is drained. However, if you use an oil extractor and you remove all of the oil, it will take 8 quarts to bring the oil to the fill line. I have the same engine in my 2020 Audi SQ5 (albeit the engine code is CWGD, not DCBE), but both are EA839 with same capacities. They only differ in the software and the fact that DCBE has the airbox located atop the engine (as is the case with Audi Q7, Q8, porsche cayenne, and Euro VW Touareg).
Great find. That was not available when I made that video. But I just checked my local Walmart and it’s available now. So that is a great. Thanks for commenting. I used to have a Touareg, it was a great car.
@@fixitwithjake Love the Touareg, such a capable and solidly built vehicle (especially the 1st gen). And the Touareg, Cayenne, Q7, and Q8, and body for the Lamborghini Urus are made on the same assembly line at the VW Bratislava Plant in Slovakia. Such a shame we don't get it in the US anymore.
Job well done sir!
Thanks for your video. I have 2022 Cayenne, but I believe the torque spec of oil drain plug for our cars is 22ft/lb , NOT 37ft/lb. 37 could possibly damage the threads of the housing.
You are correct. Luckily it’s not very much torque in general. I wish I could update the video for everyone. But for anyone reading the comments for the research shows that it is 22 foot pounds on the drain plug not 37 as seen in the video. Sorry for the mistake. Well, it’s easy to focus on the exact number when you’re actually tightening the drain plug you can really see and feel the crush washer flatten out and the area seal up and I didn’t really feel much of a difference between that point and the click of the torque wrench at 37 foot pounds. So, I don’t anticipate any issues. I have another oil change due soon, so I will swap out the drain plug and apply 22 on this next round.
AS A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN I CAN TELL U ,UR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 😊 37 ft is too much torque. Should be under 30 Nm .
Any thoughts about using an oil extractor instead of taking off the underbelly and drain plug everytime?
Yeah, I would not recommend doing it that way. You’re gonna leave at least a quart of extra oil in the engine going that method. Also, I know several people that have gotten the oil extractor tube stuck in engines before. It’s pretty rare, but it happens. And they had to pull the entire oil pan off the bottom to get it out and then they had melted plastic inside their engine. There are some cars that are designed to be done this way. Some Mercedes engines, for example. But not this car. The majority of the contaminated oil probably sinks to the bottom with metal fragments if any. And that’s the oil I want to get out of the engine as soon as I pulled the oil plug. So I think you could get away with it. It’s just not the best practice for doing an oil change if you don’t have to. I have a oil extractor myself for other engines that can’t use the drain plug and it doesn’t hold the full seven or 8 quarts so you have to empty that back out and it’s a very messy process. You can see me using using one in my boat oil change video. More messy than just draining the oil into one container.
Nice video, let us know about the transmission filter and oil change 👍
Great video! I have a 2020 Cayenne 3.0, last oil service has overfilled (above max level). How to just drain some of the oil out to get it to the right oil level (at or slight below max)? Called the Porch service shop, they want to change the whole oil.
Yeah, I’ve had a service shop do that on my previous vehicle. It’s one of the reasons I started doing oil changes myself. Because they’ll never tell you until the issue pops up. Which could damage your catalytic converters, which are very expensive. If it was me, I would get one of these oil extractor pumps, and I would carefully put the plastic tube down the engine oil fill tube and remove some of the oil. I’ll be honest I’ve never done it on this car so I’m not sure how far the tube will go down for you. But I’ve done it on many other cars and boat engines and it works so well. Obviously this car is a little different because it doesn’t have a dipstick tube so you’ll have to use the fill tube instead. If the service shop made the mistake, I would let them drain the oil and do it again. But if you made the mistake, maybe you just want to remove half a quart or so. amzn.to/3KeVRVB
@@fixitwithjakeThank you so much for the kind advice! I was thinking to pump it but really have less experience DIY project on a vehicle. Thinking if it’s possible to find a car workshop nearby and let them drain half a quart or so from the bottom of the car. If that’s doable I’d like to try next week…
@ericxu2993 they probably aren’t gonna wanna do it from the bottom drain. As soon as you open that drain the oil gushes out fast. The oil drain plug and crush washer are designed to be replaced each time. So in the amount of time it would take for them to unscrew it make a big mess and put a new one in, it would be very messy. They should be able to suction some of the oil from the top of the engine and that would be a much nicer way of doing this.
@@fixitwithjakeI see. Will try to pump it then. Thank you so much for the professional advice!
@@fixitwithjake I made the DIY happen today! Mine is a 2020 Cayenne, It took a while to find the small dipstick tube and its plug since its location is different from the 2019 Cayenne. They’re hiding behind the metal bar and hide among a few other cables. But after find it and unplug it became quite easy to pump using the tool you introduced. My engine was warmed for 10 min before the pump. The tool does not tell you in real time how much oil you pump, so I have to estimate and later found I pumped around 300 ml (1/3 of a quart). The final result was perfect, the oil level stays right at the max level, not over not below. After driving for a while, it still stays in this level and won’t raise oil overfill alarm again. Kudos to you, the good instruction was key to this DIY success!
I have the iCarsoft POR II and it won't reset the oil counter. I was told by support that the hardware is old and won't support the new software. I disappointed as I only bought this a few years ago.
I believe it. And that is exactly why I made this video. So people know exactly what device will reset their newer model Cayenne service lights. This one will amzn.to/3LDIS0q and after one use you will have saved enough for it to pay for itself. That is a win win in my book. FYI, this is not sponsored and I know nothing more about and I’ve never spoken to Carsoft and their company.
Can you use an oil extractor like Mercedes?
You could, but I would not recommend it. It is not a Mercedes and it’s built differently.
You should do one for the jeep.
Do you have to reset mileage? I’d just write the mileage down.
You have to reset the service light, which is essentially the same thing if I understand your question correctly. If you don’t every time you start your car, you’ll be warned that service is required.
