DIY Porsche Cayman Oil Change (987.2) Save $400 or more!

I surveyed multiple Porsche dealerships and found the average cost of having a Cayman's oil changed was around $450! Do it yourself in under an hour for about $50 and pocket the $400 difference. Even if you have to buy every tool I use in this video, including a floor jack, you'll only spend about half of the dealer price on that first oil change. After that ... $400 ... every ... single ... time ...

As a new owner of a 987.2 your channel is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Thanks!

[@canersahin]

Thank you Cliff, you convinced me to do this in my garage to my 987.2 Boxster

[@megahozer13]

I'm getting my first porche ever thank you for putting everything in the description

[@scarecrowsgermancargarage-6747]

Thank you for the video

[@nls8520]

Hi Cliff, great videos. I feel like I should correct you that the Cayman, all caymans actually, with the rare exception of the GT4 RS are wetsump oiling systems. Not drysumped with a remote reservoir. The "integrated dry sump" they advertise is a complete misnomer and it is just a simple wetsump.

As someone who owns a 987.2 Cayman S I can't thank you enough for putting out these high quality and very informative videos. Do you have any plans to do any PDK service videos? Keep up the good work!

[@CliffsGarage]

I've not had the opportunity to do any service on a PDK. I *have* been looking at unofficial resources on how to repair a broken PDK, but I certainly hope I never actually need that. And yes, they *can* be repaired by a competent DIY mechanic, despite Porsche's insistence that they can only be replaced ...

[@billaddy8463]

Thanks Cliff! One question, should the oil be up to temperature or cold when draining?

[@itsthegoodornot]

One thing you might like is the LN Engineering spin-on filter adapter kit for doing oil changes.

[@CliffsGarage]

I looked at that but I just don't know about spending $135 for it.

[@steved0x]

I bought one for 987.2 and something is wrong with the threads, it doesn't go all the way up, so I am still on my canister...

[@JUNJUN-lw2vr]

Plenty of people are saying 0w 40 causes bore scoring.

[@CliffsGarage]

Not sure where these "plenty" of people are. I've never, ever heard this.

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

or you can put the car up on four jackstands...

[@CliffsGarage]

Yeah, I cover that in my "Fact or Fiction" video that I referenced.
