Re: How do I change the oil on a Porsche 911 Turbo?...
Jack up your Porsche using a floor jack and place the car securely on jack stands at all four corners using the factory jacking points.
2
Place an oil container under the oil drain plug of the motor.
3
Using an 8-mm allen socket, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan.
4
Let the oil drain thoroughly--this will take about 20 to 25 minutes.
5
Once all the oil is drained from the engine, install a new
drain plug along with a new aluminum sealing washer. Tighten the drain
plug to 37 lbs .
The oil filter cartridge is located in front of the oil pan
on the right side. With an oil filter removal wrench, unscrew and remove
the cartridge. Be careful of spilling oil.
Install a new oil filter cartridge and O-ring. Before
installation, run a bead of oil around the O-ring to lubricate it.
Torque the oil filter cartridge to 19 lbs.
Pour new oil into the oil filler neck located in the engine
bay. 1998 to 2001 911s (996) take 8.5 quarts, and 2004 and up take 8.25
quarts. Newer 911s (997) take 9 quarts. When filling the engine with
oil, pour in 8 quarts and then use the dipstick to get the amount of oil
exact.
Lower the car off the jackstands.
