Our Porsche's First Oil Change - 992 - 911 Carrera S

[@DarkTouch]

you could put the coolant cap back on after removing the cover, stop you accidentally pouring oil or getting debris falling in it.

[@berponteberponte3231]

lucky owner to have a descent guy working on his car, good job!!!

[@RobinSingh-lf3iq]

Absolutely brilliant and thorough video. As a 992 owner this is awesome to watch. Thanks for posting and for the hard work!

[@Rennwerks]

Much appreciated!

[@mrchinohills2778]

Great video. Thank you very much. I think you’re the very first 992 oil change video on KZbin. It would be really cool if you did one showing how to replace the air filters too.

[@Rennwerks]

We are doing one for the filters this evening!

[@Cletotheengineer]

Awesome and detailed vid! The metal fragments in the filter element made my heart skip a beat. People don’t realize production engines and their machining process isn’t always the cleanest.

[@Rennwerks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tothefloor]

Great video! Thank you so much for doing this. Detailed and to the point. I’ll be doing this soon on my 992.

[@Rennwerks]

Thank you for watching! Hopefully you have success on your Porsche after watching our video!

[@geterdunn2733]

Love the video. Liked, sub’s and looking forward to more videos. As a new 992 owner, I’m learning how to work on my 992 car and plan to keep coming back. I’ve been working on my other cars for the last 40 years but I’m not a mechanic, it’s just something I like to do but like most people love to learn more from others.

[@Gregjohnshaftmansons]

I love this channel.. how did it take me so long to find it.. my dream car😮 992 gts

[@STREETFIGHTER50]

Thanks for the air conditioner filter tip! I went and bought one 😄

[@lyftrx]

Awesome video! Your attention to detail and tips saved us a lot of time and big mistakes. Can you also do a video on changing brake pads?

[@Rennwerks]

What would you prefer to watch, Big Brake Install or Stock Brakes Replacement?

[@tjabaley]

@@Rennwerks stock replacement please

[@XxBadBoy1366xX]

Great video and super detailed. I'm not sure if it's the way the video was edited or something but I didn't see you put the spring back in the middle of the filter. Forgetting that will result in the filter being crushed and bad news all around.

[@tedjohnson64]

Wow, good catch! He was so careful about everything else, and yet he made that huge mistake.

[@curtdragon]

I noticed that too lol

[@Rennwerks]

It was the editing, We tried to get the key elements in the video. Great catch! - Video Editor

[@shark2232]

Excellent video. An idea...how about removing the cover and reinstalling the coolant cap with the engine cold? That way there's no need to deal with hot coolant as well as no worry re getting oil in the coolant. Of course that means you would also have to wait for the engine to cool before replacing the cover.

[@Rennwerks]

The reason we change the oil when warmed up is to ensure proper drainage of the old oil. Cold oil is viscous and sticks to surfaces not allowing for as much drainage. Most of the time when a vehicle comes to the shop for an oil change the customer has fully warmed up the vehicle and they expect an us to change the oil while they wait.

[@tjabaley]

Great,thorough demonstration. Thank you.

[@Hamza0622]

Awesome video brother, can you also show how to reset the oil change service message, after the oil change.

[@seattimetv]

Awesome video! I learned a lot and I will make sure I get my oil changed on my GT3 when I get it!! I’m subscribing !

[@Rennwerks]

Thanks for the sub!

[@marketeermik]

Great video. Very insightful, and very similar albeit *slightly* easier to do than on the 991.2!

[@Rennwerks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@keadog1838]

Excellent video. There's nothing like it on the Rennlist 992 DIY sticky. Thanks.

[@dougskinner9625]

Excellent presentation, and obviously a good idea to change the oil early on no matter what the dealership tells you. The drain plug tool...can you repeat who makes this or where you can buy one? I've got a new 992 coming in the next couple of months and will be doing the initial break-in oil change myself. I don't have a lift so will be using good jack stands. You showed where the 4 jack points are below, but how do you use a floor jack and get the jack stand in position? Seems like the floor jack would be in the way of the jack stand you are trying to place underneath the car.

[@Rennwerks]

Hey Doug! We personally believe that ramps are the safest way to perform at home oil changes. If you were doing wheel related stuff, the chassis is stiff enough to lift at the front jack point and raise the whole side of the vehicle so that you can get jack stands under the rear lift points. The tool is made by AST and works for all VW/Audi/Porsche plastic oil pan drain plugs. Remember to always replace the plug itself. Thanks for watching our video! Make sure to subscribe, we have some new content for the 992 coming soon, Akropovic exhaust, wheel spacers, IPD Plenum and APR tune.

[@dougskinner9625]

@@Rennwerks I've subscribed and will definitely be looking for any future vids on 992's.

[@Willfindeww]

Hey Doug just did my oil change on my 992 and used the jack points to lift the rear then placed the ramps under each wheel accordinly. All went smoothly for me. Place jacks on each side to make sure I had extra protection also.

[@stephenb4164]

Important video. Thank you posting.

[@Rennwerks]

Thank you for watching!

[@tundra866]

great video is there a way to reset the maintenance message without using scan tool on a 992 also if not what's a good scan tool to use for the 992 for the do it yourself person thank you

[@ddelallata]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting

[@Rennwerks]

Thanks for watching!

[@tedjohnson64]

Thanks is a really very made video!

[@norevlimitr1602]

I get an extra .5 qts out of my engine when jacked up from by the rear only with the front pointing down vs draining when jacked up level. I fill mine with 9qts and its in the middle of the range.

[@Rennwerks]

Yes, if you tilt the car forward you may get a little extra and then bring the car back to level to get the little more extra that pools up in certain places of the motor from the forward tilt. On older Porsches we also like drain the Oil coolers and turbos (if equipped) to get a complete drain. On the 992, attempting to drain the oil coolers would have been an exercise in futility as they are not easily accessed. For purposes of the video, it would be overkill. Plus, we are changing the oil more frequently than Porsche Dealer wants. We prefer 5000 mile oil changes after the first initial break-in oil change that we performed in this video.

[@nrvl42]

The filter came out with the writing on it at the bottom and you put the filter back in with the writing up. All other videos made a point of the printed end of the filter went down first. Just asking to clearify because i am about to do my own. Great video

[@Rennwerks]

The filter is the same regardless of which direction you install it.

[@davidjacobs8558]

I don't think orientation matters in this type of filters. When I removed the filter on my brand new 992, the writings were on top. so it was installed that way at the factory, and I don't think they care which direction it goes.

[@sportscarnut]

I would have left the oil level one tick below max.

[@Gregjohnshaftmansons]

I dream of a tuned 992 gts with a nice exhaust.. 😻💦♎💪✨😘😎💯🎇🧲

[@joels7605]

Great video. But you have no idea how much I hate the idea of a plastic oil pan on a 911. Older aluminum pans had integrated fins to provide air cooling for the oil. At least there are aftermarket aluminum pan upgrades if you're going to track your car.

[@Rennwerks]

Modern cars.... smh

[@tweeny7]

good😊

[@Ben-cp6ty]

This video is a great help to my upcoming oil change which I intend to do at home. Thanks! This is my 1st 911/Porsche and a bit ignorant as to why there is need to raise the rear spoiler before performing the oil change? What’s the purpose in doing so?

[@Rennwerks]

Yes. The rear lid will unlock but will be prevented from opening more that a cm when the rear spoiler is retracted/down.

[@superduper476]

Thanks for the video! Can you recommend a oil service reset tool.thats reasonably priced, for a DIY home user that's not going to break the bank?

[@Rennwerks]

We use the factory tool to reset ours. There are plenty of good cheaper options out there if you search.

[@Rennwerks]

For Porsche, we recommend Durametric for the diyer. Durameteic.com. Unfortunately, the European cars and select high line models from other manufacturers usually require more pricey diag tools.

[@DanielN999]

Great video, excellent shop and clean service! How can I reset the service symbol (delete from instrument) or oil change intervals on my 992?

[@DanielN999]

I'm told its a No Go with the Durametric. How the iCarsoft Auto Diagnostic Scanner POR V2.0 for Porsche?

[@GarthGoldberg]

Some helpful info here, especially respecting the differences between the 991.2 and the 992. Getting to the filter canister is easier now. I also understand you don't have to remove the bumper cover to get to the air filters. Access is through the fender liner. The drain plug is the same item as the current VW Tiguan. The tool is also the VW 10549. You can get a Snap On bit to fit these plugs for $10. Changing the oil at 2,000 miles seems OCD to me. We did 2,000 miles in the first week in our car.

[@Willfindeww]

Hello Mike. I just changed my oil as per your presentation and thank you for the great video. My only question now is my oil levels are not showing but were before. Am I to wait a certain amount of time before it shows up on dash? Thank you.

[@superduper476]

There are actually ZERO options reasonably priced for the DIY person. Appreciate your help and advice, possibly someone else can chime in too with a bi directional obd home use tool that doesn't cost a grand just to reset oil service intervals? Tks again.

[@Rennwerks]

Durametric for the Porsche diyer.

[@superduper476]

@@Rennwerks thanks, checked with them, no go on 992. 😞

[@curtdragon]

Man they could have made it simpler 😂 Did you forget the plastic insert in the center of the oil filter?

[@Rennwerks]

No, we did not forget!, it just wasn't in the video edits. good catch, this was mentioned in the comments by a few of you wrench heads!

[@billk6772]

Thank you for posting this video. What did you use to reset the oil light?

[@Rennwerks]

We used the factory tool. Durametric, top of the line Autel ms906 or higher, top line Launch diag tool will also work

[@olivermoney6855]

If the fans stay put after removing the cover, why not remove the cover and reinstall the oil and coolant caps before starting up the car?

[@335i101]

I don’t see the parts list on your website…?

[@lk7144]

Lots of shiny sprinkles on the paper element of oil filter

[@Rennwerks]

Pretty normal during break in. It would be concerning after 10-15K miles to see specs like those.

[@elpeladodelsambaelpeladode4917]

What scanner tool you use or wich to buy to reset oil change to diy service ? Thanks

[@DrunkNeltey]

Hi, I'm not speaking English very well, but if I well understanded your video, the metal flakes in the oil in the first 10k km is normal because of the engine break-in ?

[@djyxu]

Can you reset the oil service interval in the car without a machine ?

[@blackericdenice]

1:53 If break end metal is stuck in the oil filter. How is it run through your engine?

[@Rennwerks]

It would have passed through the engine to get to the filter. Some of the metal may be from bearings, or other areas.

[@blackericdenice]

@@Rennwerks Not true. Metal fall off parts and is wash down to the pan. Some of it would to be sucked up by the pump and sent to the filter. The rest would stay on the floor of the pan. Metal is not going pass the filter. This is why when people cut open a filter. Metal is there. I went to automotive school to rebuild engines.

[@eric6194]

how do you reset the service interval manually on the 992?

[@scundoorsup5342]

The extension on the torque wrench causes a false torque spec result

[@Rennwerks]

Yes, if you want to get technical, there is a certain amount of twist action in the metal shaft of the extension and universal joint which will result in a lower torque value than actual. There are lots of places on all cars where one cannot torque a fastener without an extension and other aids. In this case, the oil filter cap is plastic and torque value is to low to matter, therefore the final difference in torque value would be to infintesimal to matter especially when the variation range is +/- 2.

[@davidjacobs8558]

for oil filter cap, the sealing is done by o-ring, and not by tightness of filter cap. torque just need to be enough for the cap to not loosen itself from engine vibration.

[@gigrichj]

Would you do the same for the Transmission oil and differential after 2,000 miles?

[@Rennwerks]

30k miles is a good time

Thnks to you im not anymore a porschist.... At least with the new models ... Why do they those "horrible" design??? No oilstick check just a sensor which im pretty sure will be broken and a pain in the ass in 15-20 years, the oil plug also need a special tool, nothing to say about the special obd porsche computer for turn off the oil light........ Damn, and its just an oil change!!! Defenitively, i will never consider myself about buying a 911 later than the 997gen.... What a pitty... Thnks for the vid from Spain!!!

[@robertslegers257]

I couldn't agree more. No dipstick to check oil condition. Plastic oil pan and plug.

[@Rennwerks]

996 and some early 997 cars were the last cars to use a dipstick. Dip sticks started to be faded out on most European cars and exotics after 2006. As a mechanic, I hate not having a dipstick, but these are modern times.

[@Adrian.M149]

Why do we need to lift the wing for the oil change?

[@scundoorsup5342]

That o ring seal should be included with oil filter , not a separate cost ..Scam

[@xyeahtony1]

Porsche never skips a beat or misses an opportunity to steal your money so if they're not recommending an oil change before 10k miles, there is probably some merit behind it. This isn't 1974 when engines flaked apart and you had to change the oil every 3k miles.
