Don't ever stop making videos Matt! You are my therapy whilst in this current prison. Don't ever be told you are not an essential worker because Obsessed time IS essential to many many people in the world right now. Your positive attitude towards the situation and indeed just in life in general is exactly what I need right now. On a side note after TJ announced you were going to be sorting out his garage I cannot wait for that!!! In the meantime you may want to start practicing Thai Chi in preparation for his level of unorganizedness! haha!
What I like to do in my phone app where I keep track of car maintenance, is to make a note with a list of tools I need for an oil change. Then I can get everything out all at once for whatever vehicle I'm working on, and not have to keep getting up and down, up and down, back and forth to the tool box a bunch of times.
@@I5ZQ8 I think that one may have needed an extra dugga. I have done some research on Porsche technical specifications and it clearly states 2.5 uggaduggas are required for drain plug number 3.
Great video, and congratulations by the way. Somehow you have a mechanic drinking coffee before I start my shift watching a video of a oil change on a car I don’t own and never will.
What??!! I watched 38mins of your oil change and then did NOT get to hear the scary rough cold startup of the engine after a new oil change and then the gradual shift to a satisfying sound of the engine smoothing out as the oil is fed to all the wonderful little Porsche engine parts!!! You ROBBED ME!!! ;-). Now you have ruined MY OCD and feng shui!!
One of the coolest cars ever because oil changes on this are easy and cheap. This isn't really a super car, it's an exotic sports car that happens to be one of the best road cars money can buy but despite that, if you can afford to buy it, you really don't need a large salary after that to maintain it and I love that.
27:56 Hopefully you'll use a flood light that has a lot of lumens or tower light...because it's wasn't bright enough on what you were doing. Maybe a flood light is the best because it doesn't use a lot of floor space.
Herzlichen Dank für die Anleitung zum Ölwechsel für den 991.2 GT3 RS! Ich schaue mir deine Videos immer gerne an, da sie sehr lehrreich sind. :-) Beste Grüsse aus der Schweiz
I think it was John at LHT who recommends leaving the dipstick and oil cap on when there are drain plugs that are not on the bottom to prevent the oil from gushing out.
Thanks for the video. I need to do this when mine gets back from a rock chip respray. After years of watching your videos I finally broke down and picked up a .1 Turbo. I should've picked one up years ago. Thank you!
I have 997.1 c2. I use liqui moly 5w40. OCI is 3000 miles but I change before that. It takes like 8 1/2 quarts. I did headers,high flow cats,changed water pump and installed new low temp thermostat(wasn't leaking)plus short throw shifter and H&R lowering springs with 15mm spacers all around.
Hey good day. Could you do a video on car oil in general, best ones to use on performance cars cold and hot climates what the numbers stand for,, then oil used on your Porsche, Corvette, all your cars, which is best brand, type spec and why. There is so much Miss leading info on the net. I understand owners manual suggestion is best but what if you mod your car turbo or supercharging it, 4, 6,or v8 etc.
Years ago I read an article by Dr. Haas on Ferrari Chat where he discusses oil viscosity at ambient vs. operating temps, and the oil pressure developed at each temperature. Basically older Ferraris specified a particular oil pressure at a particular temperature, instead of a particular viscosity. And so it was up to the user to figure out what oil viscosity would work at a particular operating temperature. What I took away from that was that any oil at ambient temp is too thick to flow like it should at operating temp, and therefore the thinnest oil when cold, that still provides the correct viscosity at operating temp was best to reduce the engine wear that happens during cold startup. Ever since then I started using 0w oil on all my vehicles.
I put a tiny bit too much oil when I changed the oil in my 991.1. Had to let some out through the drain plug which was a real pain. Next time I am putting in way less at first and drive it a long time before adding more. So you are correct!
Loving the new site holy sh*t and hopefully the next detailing series if you can talk about what product you using and why like a step by step tutorial would be really helpful. and I'm also now a hex member as well : ). Keep up with the great work!
Not sure about Porsche's, but "torque specs" for most all oil filters is to tighten by hand until solid contact is made between the gasket and the flange, and then hand tight 1/2 turn more. You never want to over tighten the oil filter.
I know a guy who bought a 911 in the 70’s when he was stationed in Germany while in the army and when he was at the factory in Germany he asked the guy who was giving him the run down of his new 911, he asked how to properly break in the engine.. The man looked at him, pointed at the redline on the tac, and said, “That’s how”. Haha It’s a Porsche. The only supercar that is built to be driven HARD, and doesn’t break down and cost you 10’s of thousands of dollars every. Other week like a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or ESPECIALLY a Mclaren... haha
I love seeing RS’s on lifts because I love those 325 series meats. That’s what makes an RS superior to a GT3. Looks so cool. Not cheap $500 a piece for the rears. But wow, so cool. Great video Matty and yes we all laughed when you smacked yourself in the head.
Glad to see you back working on your GT3RS! Also looking forward to seeing your GT4. Corvettes and BMWs are fine but Porsches are a lot more fun to watch and drive.
I have been using Amsoil for years. What did you pay for oil? 20 bucks a quart? it should be around 11 bucks a quart. My ZL1 uses 9 quarts. it cost me about 110 for an oil change and I also use signature series oil. 0w40. Informative as always.
Matt do you have a 718 GT4 allocation or you going to buy a second hand GT4 in the future. For future info oil drainplug on pan is 23 ft lb and 22 ft lb on the dry sump tank plus the rear plug Porsche states you do not half to remove.
The front Rennline Tie Downs have a built in Jack pad. Are those adequate or do your recommend in addition, to get and use the DELRIN jack pads that SmokinGTS sells. I have his centerlock wheel guide which is nothing short of a piece of art IMO. Just bought the Rennline tie downs as well. Just curious how practical or adequate the jack pad is on the front Rennline tie downs or if I need to source something in addition. Thanks as always.
Man, the person that purchases this vehicle after he's done with it will get a gem of a vehicle! You would think that the oil drain plugs would be a different color to really make them stand out. Also, considering that you do the oil changes yourself, how come you don't buy the oil in bulk and just store it? Is there a shelf life on oil?
Hey Matt it's Seth. As a fellow GT car owner (991.1 Saphire Blue GT3), I would love it if you made a page on the website for your most common items for Porsche's. Especially the Blend Mount, Radar Detector, and Cell Phone Mount. Love all of your content, but it is great to see the Porsche getting some love!!!!!
@@ObsessedGarage Thanks for your answer. I did a little research and it turns out to be entirely normal to find some visible aluminum debris in the oil filter. Would be interesting to know where that comes from.
Great find/video. Although to be a little critical on your "break in" comment, some enthusiasts were probably gasping at the thought of "just drive it". I do agree with that but to be technical it would have been nice to hear if you varied the rpm's when you drove it, or wound up the rpm's a time or two to "seat the rings"? There's an argument for all ways but it would have been good to get an opinion so to say. Just sayin. Thanks
Great video Matt. What’s your go to brands for your impact wrenches for wheel nuts and also the smaller one you were using for the torx bolts on the sump cover plate? Great idea too with having your Matt - Porsche recommended kit to save shopping around. Thanks 😊
This guys so lucky, i would i had his moments. i am working so hard just to get to his position. I wish God will allow that. Matt you are blessed, I hope you know that.
Love the Porsche stuff. DIY seems relatively rare but loving seeing the GT3 guys do some work. Some of it translates to my poverty package 991 C2S too ;). In all seriousness love it! You do not happen to have a manual trans service video for any of them do you? I got the fluids and the pump but should be easy enough with the fill and drain ... hopefully.
I know a man that owned a car repair shop he complained that his Carerra 991.1 did not "swallow" the amunt of oil it was supposed to... 1/2 Second later he was asked did you unpplugg all drainplugs? Ooops😱
icarsoft has a scan tool that can reset the service light. I did it on mine. but dont be like me and get the porsche specific one get the cr pro I ended up buying both so I can do my BMW's too. check it out on amazon
Matt how do you go about keeping your log books up to date for the car when servicing it yourself? (Only questioning as i'm sure you've considered how it could affect resale)
I quit doing it when I started the TH-cam channel and came the realization that very, very few actually cares about those records. Plus I've developed the reputation that most understand they car has been taken care properly.
I had the dealer do my first oil change…. Now it leaks oil. I pulled the pan and it looks like it’s coming from the reserve plug. They have a Copper crush washer vs alum like what’s on the other two plugs. You think that could be the problem?
After watching your recent Milwaukee video, TH-cam recommend also your oil change video. That digital oil dip stick issue is bad. I wonder what other car companies make cars with that digital.
On my .1 GT3 if you just sit and let the car idle level in the garage for 3-5 minutes that will trigger the oil capacity reading and you don't have to go out driving and meet all the requirements. It should be the same for your .2 RS.

No woman could ever live with this guy!
Matt, Can you get some more info on the jack pucks?
I'm working on it. Ed is SmokinGTS on Rennlist. I just asked him if we could offer them through Obsessed Garage.
As an E92 M owner and BMW enthusiast myself, I approve of all the BMW content, but the return to the promise land of Weissach has been long awaited.
Im glad to see the 911 stuff back. I had to close my eyes there for a bit.
I have 997.1 c2. I use liqui moly 5w40. OCI is 3000 miles but I change before that. It takes like 8 1/2 quarts. I did headers,high flow cats,changed water pump and installed new low temp thermostat(wasn't leaking)plus short throw shifter and H&R lowering springs with 15mm spacers all around.

Great video. I'm very excited about the upcoming GT4. Are you doing PEC Atlanta delivery?
No, the dealer where I am getting it would like for me to take delivery there. We are going to do a dealership new car prep training video series.
We love a Porsche owner who knows how to pronounce ‘Porsche’ haha
Porsche are just the best. No question.
To torque your oil filter you could use a 27mm crows foot
That's some real man stuff right there.
How much would the dealer charge for an oil change on this car?
I think it's like $300ish.
I put a tiny bit too much oil when I changed the oil in my 991.1. Had to let some out through the drain plug which was a real pain. Next time I am putting in way less at first and drive it a long time before adding more. So you are correct!
Matt, the filter cap wrench has a 3/8 drive hole in it for a ratchet.
Good call.
Hi Matt thanks for the video. What is the name/brand of the blue flashlight? is it any good? It looks awesome and I like the blue @8:40 thank you!
Nick Cage changing his GT3 oil 😂loved it from Australia
15:05
Doing the oil change standing or not, oil landing on clothes and the floor is common because the oil drains fast.
Loving the new site holy sh*t and hopefully the next detailing series if you can talk about what product you using and why like a step by step tutorial would be really helpful. and I'm also now a hex member as well : ). Keep up with the great work!
