992 GT3 Oil Change | Weekend Garage Hang

I read a bunch of stuff on 992 oil change. I found it to be rather straight forward.
Tools and Parts Needed:
Oil: www.suncoastparts.com/product...
Filter Wrench: www.suncoastparts.com/product...
Oil Filter: www.suncoastparts.com/product...
I don't have the correct drain plug part numbers. I'll have to figure those out on the next change.

I change the oil in my cars, but my Porsche I just pay to get done. I don't have a lift, and I rather just keep the paper trail with an independent service shop. The time I save not having to mess with it and sweat my ass off in the garage is worth it to me lol. Thanks for sharing and uploading your process though!!

[@79blustone]

Matt there are some very interesting information on The Motor Oil Geeks channel around oil sample testing. I think you have done the right thing about changing the oil at around 500 miles. Even daily driver cars should change the oil at the first 500 miles as the engine does 'Break in' Even though people think that the thing of the past, all modern engines should be changed at the first 500 miles. Also, don't neglect your transmission oil, too. That's very important. Find his video from about 4 months ago called 'New engine break-in truth or myth?' Another good one to watch is about Prefilling the oil filter 👌

[@Shiftheads]

I'm with ya. Any new engine, I'm definitley replacing it within first 500.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’ve always done a break in oil change on my new cars.

[@ptstouring49]

As a fellow obsessed person, might I suggest taking all the tools for the oil change and putting them in one small kit. Duplicates of the main set, of course. I have this for my 991.2 GT3. I also use a beam type torque wrench as I do not trust small click type. For wheels I use the gedore remoter which I find better than the precision instruments I used previously. I think you will like the stahlwille torque wrenches. The digital 1/4 is nice, I just can’t bring myself to use it on oil changes, the other ones are also nice too. I may be getting this wrong but they say you don’t have to wind them down to store (I do) and the ones with the universal hole at the end allows you to torque whatever you want. Finally, on wrenches, I don’t think you will like the stahlwille 13 series as they are short and the head are wide, I do think you will like the 14 series as well as the stabil, corona, and whatever the ones ones are called. I bought all the stahl (get it) so I have them. For regular pattern wrenches I use Hazet SPC which are the same as 600N just “special price.” I do need to get the Hazet traction profile and full set of ratcheting Hazets to complete the Hazet wrench set. Just have not pulled the trigger as frankly I need a bigger box for Hazet and have not made up my mind as to what assistejt trolly I want. Oh, have you tried Gedore wrenches? I have a pretty full set of those and am especially a fan of the B type. Go wildcats.

I don’t have to jack up my 09 Pilot to change the oil because there is so much room underneath my truck-size SUV 🚙 sometimes referred to as a tank because of its size. 🙂

Lake speed the motor oil geek did a great video on changing your oil at a low interval right after you get the car I did this with the Subaru years ago and I’m glad I did that I put about 1000 miles on the car and then I dumped it and jumped off straight to mobile 1 at the time, i’ve been thinking about jumping to Amsoil, especially for the ISF, right now I’m running Pennzoil ultra platinum…

[@ericmed]

If it's anything like my 991, I observed that putting the rear up (ramps versus an even lift) yields more oil out

[@Olsenspec]

Best way to do this is get the car fully to temperature then pull the plug. Saves a ton of time!

We only actually bill out 5qts instead of our usual 8-9 for most models.

In this case, I think extraction from the top side would allow you to get all of the oil out. Now you have 2 different oils with 2 different additive packages mixed together inside your engine, which is known to increase wear.

You can't get to the oil pan on a flat 6. I used OE oil.

Matt porsche tech here! Couple convivence tips, you only have to loosen the rear 2 t30s on the underbody panel (this will allow you to hold it with bolts instead of cranium) then slide it backwards as its just slotted. nice trick on the putting back in what you took out, its insane our manual states 3.5 qts required, it sounds broken, but most of the time we leave HALF on the cluster for track use GTs.

[@mfujii1318]

also keep tabs on the drain plug with the brass insert, dont want to over tighten that as once its too tight the brass might spin which is apart of the oil tank aka repair means engine out. i've had to use vise grips to keep the brass from spinning while hitting the plug w a "JOLT" loosening action

[@ObsessedGarage]

Man…that makes much more sense now on the panel

[@mfujii1318]

Ocd is an understatement with this guy lol more like illness. 😅

[@bomboyagegaming]

if you drain the oil overnight you have to put in like 6 quarts, instead of like the 3.5-4 when you just quickly do it, so the best way to get all the oil out is just drain overnight that's what we do at my dealer. the plastic drain plug is only on vehicles made after may 26th 2023. also your first service is paid for already when you buy the car so you kinda waisted your time.

Dear expert…Does the PCM record your resetting in Maintenance history tab on the PCM?

They see joy in having and in keeping brand new, do you think he will ever need 10 Torque wrenches? But knowing he has them brings joy, turning a hex nut with a top line ratchet to the exact torque value and wiping it with a rag made from highest quality cotton is where is at, its not about the car, its about his search of happiness, getting that rush, if it was about the car he would have let it get to operating temp. I had a 84 3.2L 911, oil cooler at front, you let the car get warm so oil temp control valves open and oil circulate back to engine, you get more oil out that way, car would not care if I used an old t-shirt or a highest grade cotton to wipe his ass, I bet he did like me replacing every drop of oil!

At times that means choosing Snap-on when very few make everything in matching SAE. Trust me as a diesel technician, I want metric only but that's not how it is and how it's going to be.
