Oil Change And Yearly Service | Porsche Cayenne

In this video I cover the engine oil and filter change process for the VR6 variant Porsche Cayenne (base model). The yearly service is what we recommend along side the engine oil change. The yearly service includes: Clearing out all vehicle water drains, cleaning/treating all door rubber seals, clearing out radiator/condenser intake, and lubricating all door locks/hinges.
This video is on the long side but I hope you enjoy it.
-----------------------------------
My name is Ryan. I’ve been a professional automotive technician for over 10 years. Through high school I worked at an independent service shop every day after class, during the summer, and then part time while I attended Universal Technical Institute. While at UTI I applied for and was accepted into the Porsche technology apprentice program (PTAP) in Atlanta Georgia for 6 months of factory training. Once I returned to Chicago, I started my Porsche career at Loeber Motors Porsche in Lincolnwood, Illinois. I’ve been at my dealership for 7 years now.
Every day I come into the shop I strive for perfection in my abilities to maintain and service these amazing machines. My goal with this channel is to show what goes into keeping new and classic Porsche vehicles on the road for years to come.

Since I’m seeing a lot of questions about this here you go. Thanks for watching! Chemicals and sprays used in the video: Brake clean - used for oil filter housing and cleaning residual oil off of engine. Mild degreaser - used to clean engine bay before applying Winzer rubber and plastic restore. Winzer rubber and plastic restore - used for door/sunroof seals and engine bay trim. As far as I know this is only sold to shops for professional use. Wurth HHS-K - used for door hinges and locks.

[@jimchu5604]

P - Tech many thanks

[@michaeldrake2802]

I was literally just going to ask you that after watching! Thank you so much. I rarely trust anyone to work on my cars but I would be comfortable letting you work on any of mine!

[@fridaynightgamefilm]

HHS-2000 K seems to have been discontinued, replaced by HHS+. It's available on ebay.

[@michaell906]

Thank you!

[@luisqueremelmilani5023]

I added a comment below but could you please do a video on your efforts to inspect a vehicle that is a candidate to become a CPO?

[@leivabernie]

If only all service centers were this quality of work...

[@Simon-sv6qe]

All main dealer Porsche garages are I can confirm as I am also a Porsche technician

[@jordandiab1656]

Simon engine bay cleaning too? That standard procedure?

[@Simon-sv6qe]

Jordan Diab yes but in the dealership I work in major cleaning is done by valeters

[@Scypher0th]

If all service centres were like this the average joe would not be able to afford to drive his car as this is a very very expensive oil change.

[@Scypher0th]

But then again if you can afford a Porsche afford to pay upwards of $4 to 500 for an all change

[@frank12777]

It amazes me that people can’t keep even put 10% effort into maintaining a car

[@Sulaiman_AlKadi]

The car has elements of all natural environments. Dirty as hell

[@kens97sto171]

@@Sulaiman_AlKadi Looks to me like the car is parked someplace with lots of trees above it. There is a lot of crap in that cabin air intake. And also at the edge of the windshield and all the other little nooks and crannies. It's possible the car sits a lot someplace too.

[@Ksun_C63s]

This guys work ethic is amazing, we need more people like him

[@jamalwalker2104]

That’s what happens when you love what you do.

[@martinm3422]

Yes, hopefully all workshop owners give their team enough time to do so....even without camera obeserving the work.

[@devnull128]

What did they park this freaking thing in the woods for a year, then bring it in? Wow! Dude, Porsche should be making videos on your professionalism. True attention to detail is rare these days. AWESOME WORK!

[@Scypher0th]

It’s not rare It is expensive I guarantee you this oil changed longer than 20 minutes meaning if it’s anywhere close to an hour as you’re looking at over $140 just in labour Not including parts and oil

[@tetnum]

That is normal accumulation over a year of out door parking in the open. looks bad but isn't an issue if addressed yearly, way easier to deal with then previous generations.

[@Motormouth...]

If you park on the street under big trees this happens. Mine needs to be cleaned out every year too, the leaves get inside the hood, dry from the heat of the engine, then crumble into the holes. Hard to keep them out.

[@explorenaked]

@@Scypher0th I do my own oil changes on my 2016 Cayenne Base. Retail cost for the oil/filter/plug needed is right around $100 which means after the first change a c-note and a couple hours of my time is all it costs. I can't bring myself to pay the dealer $700 for such a simple job. This tech certainly does outstanding work and love learning from him.

[@mntrader2]

One of the best channels on KZbin. I dumped vehicle virgins and picked this channel. I love this guys work ethic.

[@bhfh2023]

Yes, one of the best channels on KZbin!!!!

[@ruststar]

Same here, dumped DDE also

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

Savagegeese is also worth recommending, completely independent and honest car reviews.

[@alfredabate3176]

Absolutely well done. This is what yearly service should be done for Porsche to charge you $750 plus. You did an amazing service. 🙏

[@craigerickson1910]

You sir are absolutely top notch. I've done all my own work on my 5 Porsches starting in 1968 including engine and transmission rebuilds. I've never seen such thorough work for an annual inspection. I learned some valuable things about how to clean the cowl area and drains in my 2014 Cayenne GTS. Didn't realize you could remove those access covers so readily. Thank you so much. I hope your employer is recognizing how good your work is.

[@vonJaerschky]

Oh My God, will the owner please show that Cayenne some love! The paint, the dirt, the wheels, the HORROR!!!!!!! Good thing P-tech is on the job.

[@nelran2009]

Seems to me that the owner is the typical “vehicle is to use and replace” type. Clearly used automatic carwash machines all time as paint is completely destroyed. And scratched. You see there are persons that likes “the cache” of Porsches (or a particular brand) but for them a car is nothing else that a piece of furniture to be transported from point A to B. There are lots of people that doesn’t care less what maintenance and the car aspect represents to him ir her personally. For me a car aspect is part of my personal appearance too.

[@timjones3866]

Karen ain't got no time for dat

[@alexlam24]

It's a base model car. No need to cry

[@Matt_from_Florida]

@@alexlam24 Yep. One of the last uses of VW's old VR6 engine.

[@mingli1241]

There are people that use the car for everyday use and don’t care and then there are car enthusiast.

[@jasonhumes3819]

That’s what I call service, just seeing this makes me want to be a Porsche Service man. Great attention to detail. I’ve never seen anyone take that much pride in their work. Very nice job there.

[@allyfab1433]

It’d be good if all mechanics were this thorough when serving. This bloke really takes pride in his work 👍🏻

[@JoBamium]

Worth the 20min watch time. ASMR P TECH lol

[@laultimafalla]

The products he uses for the doors are from Wurth, likely an HHS spray and the plastic cleaner is a final touch spray from Winzer. None of these brands are off the shelf type product.

[@gilvita168]

You are an excellent mechanic! I hope your employer appreciates your passion for excellence.

[@josephmotzer279]

Doing your parts in keeping the Porsche service name alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I couldn’t be the only one.... I appreciate your work and ability to be selfless enough to make work easier for the next guy. Keep it up dude.

[@TexasTony90]

I love your attention to detail. It really shows you care

[@marinerbc1]

Sorry I could not find words to describe you , professional , dedicated , passionate-about what you do ......honestly thank you for your hard work , please keep up with these videos

[@umpireoba]

This customer doesn’t know how lucky they got with you working on their car

[@Neil542]

You get all the necessary angles and the vid quality is good, you make it so easy to see everything you're doing keep it up!

[@Mike-mn9xo]

The amount of attention to detail you put in is amazing

[@enoch1234enoch]

Not only did he change the car’s oil, he literally detailed the car inside and out and gave the owner a brand new vehicle

[@gpaje]

Probably not for cheap, that is the most inclusive Porsche dealership annual inspection I've seen.

[@PhotoLabMP]

$1,200 annual service. Not cheap.

[@ademc8872]

always nice to see someone taking pride in their work. Keep up the excellent work bud!

[@helmuttdvm]

Great to see that most of these items can be performed at home by an enthusiast, though the diagnostic hookup is not a DIY project. I’d love to see more videos like this as it demystifies the servicing of these newer vehicles.

[@jimmymooo]

We need these guys to come back. Need more of these useful videos!

[@geoffreygordon5892]

Love your videos! The effort you put into them for us to come along with you is greatly appreciated especially when you’re on a time crunch as it is. I also love the insight and lessons that can be learned. Tomorrow I’ll be in the driveway with sprays, air hose, shopvac etc...thank you! And I’ll second that I’d love to see a video on brake pad change for cayenne S.

[@mohammedaliqureshi4597]

Wow! Your attention to detail is certainly unrivalled, hats off to you good sir!

[@civic0313]

You are absolutely awesome. Great work. So through and treats the car like his own. Can’t stress how great of a work of your doing and appreciate all the videos showcasing this.

[@civic0313]

Your videos thus far have been a testament to the Porsche training you most likely received. I can’t stress enough how even watching you clear debris out of a drain hole and fender openings for air to air inter coolers along with properly doing all the maintenance with care given to the paint with cloths and even the temp clear wrap makes me wish that you were a ptech in my area. Your through work should be recognized by Porsche somehow and I hope folks like Andy preuninger (gt head) sees this.

[@rscheifers]

Save your eyes brotha put some safety glasses on 👍

[@Meirele]

I noticed that too. It's a wise warning.

[@guidosaur7506]

Or if you're lucky just some real glasses lmao

Very Educational. Had no idea so much work went into this service. First Class job!

[@nii-akweiacquaye6611]

Very impressed with your thoroughness, Ryan. Keep it up. Very informative content.

[@hoatruong6691]

so much love for these videos and all other videos of this guy. Hope you drop down more videos for those who love DIY repair and especially for me one who has just graduated and has no experience in repairing.

[@7477238]

I found this video informative and soothing. Yes, I find the typical shop noises in the background soothing.

[@ramonmalaya8451]

These videos are fantastic. It gives insight into the services included in the yearly service. Although most petrol heads will think a lot of the services are gravy, a majority of the people will not go into this much detail to maintain their own cars. Case in point, the owner of the Cayenne couldn't even keep the leaves and dirt out of the drains. Please keep them coming. I'm interested in seeing the minor and major service components of a 911.

[@Aardvark49]

So nice to see how you take pride in your work.

[@thedrivewaygarage3059]

This right here is what i call service, service like this will make cars working for years to come.

[@pattrentadue6230]

That was the most thorough and professional service I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. I just picked up a 2017 Cayenne S and I have absolutely no issue paying the premium price for Porsche Service if its done with this level of detail and care. Unfortunately, not all Tech's are created equal, too bad I don't live in Chicago! Well done sir and keep up the fantastic work and enthusiasm for the brand!

[@davidedangelosante6963]

That's why Porsches are good cars, because there's some serious caring involved during maintenence. Very good job.

[@cyrushenry1909]

Top job. The service is amazing. But the video is incredibly well put together too. All the best for your channel!!

[@davidhicks3710]

I'm convinced my local dealership never cleaned out the drains from windshield. I do weekly maintenance washes on my garage kept cayenne and around 40k miles the cabin was leaking water because of a clogged drain. I had just had the 40k maintenance done less than two months before. It is refreshing to watch someone who takes pride in their work and doesn't skip steps or take shortcuts. After watching this, I will just clean them out myself in the future.

[@nicknicu1787]

And this is how it’s properly done! 👍👍👍

[@saadawal]

Amazing attention to detail. Great work and keep it up!

[@lieberfreialsgleich]

Very good idea to start with compressed air . I always clean the engine compartment this way, under the windshield. The best to prevent moisture.

[@krilat2482]

Wow, just wow ! You really love your work and actually put some real effort into making the customer as pleased as possible. Subscribed and notifications on, I don’t want to miss any videos of yours. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for watching!

[@johnbee7729]

Thank you for taking the time to blow the dust and leaves out of the engine bay. Too many shops figure it ain't their problem.

Great video! Are you planning on doing a video like this on the newer generation Cayenne base?

[@nastee4s668]

Another great video, would love to see a cayenne brake job. Just finished mine on the turbo,a lot more involved than most front brake jobs I’ve done. And forces you to bleed them in the process,Easiest being my wife’s Lexus gs350. Thnx for the Cayenne content.

[@a.common.American]

I know this is old but man.. I wish this guy would open his own shop. This is some really quality work and you can tell he's done it a thousand times and has his flow down. The thing I appreciate, and it may just be editing/camera work but it looks like he keeps busy. While one thing is draining he's moving onto the next, etc etc. Making the best use of his time, and respect to the customers time. And for us P-Owners we know how expensive time is with these things lol.

[@heatherwhite8753]

I have a gentleman like this where I live that services my TDI at a VW dealership when I can’t do the work myself if you ever find one like this keep them they’re hard to come by

[@luisqueremelmilani5023]

This was great! Also provides a good insight of why the yearly service commands the price that it does when most people believe its just an oil change.. granted, I still consider that you go above and beyond! To prove my point, no one at the dealer has taken care of cleaning and lubricating my sunroof, but I still do that on my own

[@mioisurugi2010]

There is a a large checklist put together by Porsche. When they do a major service they should be giving you a copy for your records with what was done and signed by the technician and foreman/QC checker. If anything on the checklist obviously didn't get done, I would go back and demand that it get done. After all, you paid for it, so it is only fair.

[@tetnum]

This doesn't happen at any dealership I have ever been to.

[@luisqueremelmilani5023]

Mio Isurugi you are correct, I have seen it before. What has happened in the past is that they claim they have done but the extent of the work is certainly not up to par with @P-Tech. Its starting to happen now more often with CPO vehicles too! I know dealers that will sell vehicles as CPO without the prior inspection.. I walked out of a deal exactly because of that and from another because the checklist didn’t add up! Maybe P-Tech could do a video showing his work while inspecting a CPO candidate!

[@MrTare071]

Top service, respect!

I tried to put the Cayenne on my lift and I wasn't sure where the lifting points are on the car. Next time you do a video on 958.2 Cayenne, can you point out where the safest lifting points are on this car? Thanks.

When I pick up my next Porsche, I’m gonna bring it to Loeber, and ask that you service my vehicle! Even though there’s 2 other dealers a lot closer to me.
