Great tip on making the car level to let more oil drain out. I’ve been doing the same. I also cut open the oil filter and check for any metallic or plastic particles.
Thanks for the video. Just purchased a 2001 996 this past month. I look forward to watching your future videos as I too will do the labor on the vehicle as much as possible.
Thanks, the wheels are Avant Garde Ruger Mesh 19's. I'm a huge fan of the GT3 look. I thought about getting the parts after I'm done with the suspension and engine.
Thanks! The wheels are Avant Garde Ruger Mesh 19’s. I have Delinte thunder D7. In a 235/35/19 in front 275/30/19 in the rear. Unfortunately if you keep the same overall diameter when you use 19inch wheels there isn’t a lot of tire to pick from. These were on the car when i purchased it. Eventually I plan on putting Yokohama Advan AD08 R. I do not find the Delintes’s very responsive in the steering department plenty of grip though and understeer. I have had good luck with Yokohama’s in the past. I also like the Bridgestone RE71R’s, but they don’t make the rear tire size.

I usually give the filter a once over too. Never hurts to look.

Thanks for watching. There will be new videos coming in the next few weeks.

Thank you , will change my oil ❤myself today 😊
Like the wheels man. 996 is under appreciated but I have lost some sleep over it!
I have a 00 996 with a gt3 aerokit.

Awesome explanation, thanks man
Beautiful car, Love the wheels. What tires do you have fitted? What size are you using front/rear?

Another good video :-).
Thanks for watching!
why not double check on the digital gauge inside?
Does 996 have a drain plug gasket/washer ?
Yes it does a washer. They can be reused as long as it hasn’t been excessively crushed. Thanks for watching.
@@KevinsEuropeanGarage thank you 😊
Great Video. How often are you changing the oil? every 5000km?
Thanks! 5000km would fine. I’ll probably only put that much on in a year. You could probably go up to 8000km if it was driven a lot.
5w-30 or 10….you will get piston slap and scoring with zero
I currently use Motul 300V 5w-40
You skipped how to lift the car…lol.
