About to do this on my 01' S for the first time. Thanks for showing where the drain plug and filter are. I should probably bleed the brakes too, but will plan to do that a different weekend.

[@radiocrash]

never knew you could dispose of oil in smugglers way recycling centre. thanks for the heads up and great video as alway!

[@RoadandRacetv]

+radiocrash Thanks mate, yes very handy!

[@saxbruce]

Succinct, yet comprehensive, so just about perfect. (Did'nt know about half-filling the filter unit). Great video, just off to do the job now....

[@RoadandRacetv]

Thanks Bruce, that's the best feedback I've had so far! Good luck with the oil change!

[@SuperBear128]

Great video, very detailed and clear - thanks!

[@HeidiandFranny]

Good idea on writing down the mileage. That is something we haven’t mentioned. Heidi

[@WPCS-p5w]

Great video. Detailed but Right to the point. Thank you.

[@RoadandRacetv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelwhelan564]

Excellent tutorial. How do you reset the service indicator. 2007 Boxster S. Thankyou

[@nicholasfoster8440]

can you do a video about diagnostic tools i am having trouble using mine and the manual is not helping, i use a foxwell nt 301

[@Hagebuddne983]

Great explanation. How much time did the oil change take from start to finish?

[@cristispot69]

can you please let me know the name of those ramps? thanks

[@damientaylor1]

Excellent video, thanks.

[@MsSkullzone]

As always very clear and informative . And thanks for the heads up about smugglers way 👍👍

[@huwjones5879]

Are those metal particles on your old filter? Is the IMSB on the way out?

[@FranklySpeaking73]

Brilliant and helpful video. Thanks for doing this the proper way. Cheers!

[@i.am.rossalex]

Thanks! It was easy and clear!

[@RoadandRacetv]

You're welcome!

[@drhansen930]

Thank you, very nice video

[@juliansinclair2122]

Great yet again!

[@ricardogarcia4466]

It said if i had any video request to post it here. .. i need to fix the driver window because it does not go up or down and it looks like the window motor is Soldered to the door

[@grahamedwards6466]

My outside ambient temperature is around 24 degrees C all year round on average ( Queensland Australia ) What is the best weight engine oil in your opinion please ?

[@kennyredline]

Is it better to have the vehicle level, does oil get left in the pan with just the rear lifted?

[@mwong987]

I noticed this as well.

[@thecaraddictt8697]

Thanks!! Im from CA due to the temperatures would it be better if i put 0w-40 or 5w-40 on my 1998 986 ?

[@drtm1718]

If it's hot where you live, probably the 5w-40.

[@TheVeganPlumber]

Hello mate! Looking into getting a 3.2S, any possibility of having a ride along to get a good feel for how they ‘should’ drive? I know it’s a bit outlandish but couldn’t resist, being so nearby! Thanks, A.

[@AB-nb2ic]

Wow... Surprised he never answered. The only Porsche I've ever been in is the Boxster I own. Would love to compare the ride to another one

[@TheVeganPlumber]

@@AB-nb2ic wow, this was a while ago! I ended up not getting one because of the common RMS/IMS issues along with the other faults they can develop. How's yours treated you?

[@edivad7888]

@@TheVeganPlumber Bro every sports car has got its own "problems", if you get worried about these things you'll never get one. IMS problems in Boxsters are a pretty rare issue and even if it happens, it's pretty easy to fix it. (source: I'm a 3.2 S owner)

[@TheVeganPlumber]

@@edivad7888 yeah essentially you are right. I do like to do a lot of repairs and work on my cars myself though. I think this one would have been a pain given the placement of the engine etc. I’ve decided to search for a mk1 golf 1.8 20VT instead. Definitely nostalgic for me, massive power capabilities and just great all rounder. Hope you’re loving your 3.2S!

[@davidtracy9058]

Thank you

[@jeffduncan7685]

I dump my oil on my driveway, kills the grass in the middle of the driveway for a while then it comes back even greener as the oil is nothing more than strong fertilizer. There is no place in this small town that excepts it and I am not driving 150 miles round trip to take it to a place to recycle it, then they want to charge you in most places to dispose of it and which is odd because they sell it to recycling centers. Another thing I do is use it in my oil heater.

[@fhhfgj]

fuck youtube sucks , great video though thanks!

[@dakine2266]

fantastic video, thank you!
