2015 Cayenne S Oil Change
Ok so 5000 miles on my Cayenne S V6 TT so time to do an oil change.
Parts needed 9 quarts of Mobil 0W-40. Oil Filter P948-107-222-00 same as my 2012 997. However the O ring is not the same. It is thicker. Porsche Part No. P946-107-322-75. I could not find any Mahle after market that had the right O ring so $35.55 at the dealer for both. I had oil drain washers in stock so OK there.
I have included pics. Got oil up to temp then jacked up car and used my modified Jackpoint stands. See previous post. While up in the air I rotated tire front to back same side. Used the Castrol antiseize on lug nuts. 118 Ft Lbs
First remove bottom cover 10 bolts. Remove drain plug drain oil. The drain washer fell in the drain pan but I found it later. Wasn't going to reuse it but I always like to find all the parts.
There is a u shaped hose from I think the PDCC on a bracket. Yours may not have it.
Remove the bracket by unscrewing 2 10mm nuts that hold the bracket on.
Picture shows it hanging. You need to do this to give room for Oil filter to clear. Use 36mm socket to unscrew filter. Replace with new cartridge and O ring. Couldn't get the torque wrench to clear with 36mm socket I had so I used a Cresent wrench for final tightening. Ordered a low profile socket on ebay for next time. I have done this so many times that I pretty much know what 20ft lbs feels like. Replace oil plug with new gasket. 37ft lbs Put every thing back togeher. Put in 8.5 quarts of oil. Drove it around it finally showed 1/2 quart low. 2 more tries adding oil and it now spot on. After you open the hood the measuring process starts over and you have to drive 6-10 miles till the system shows you the oil level.

Nice DIY......but the best materials cost is still gonna be $135, not including resetting the oilservice light=$65/dealer. I found a local indy who did it for $154/complete.....includes reset oil warning.

But I don't do it to save money. I do it because I like to and can do it faster than getting car to dealer and waiting for them to complete it. I also like to send a oil sample off for analysis. I know that when I do anything on my car it will be done the best that it can. I have been working on cars for over 60 years. I enjoy it and find it very rewarding. Other things I do in life often take months or years to complete. Completing any task on a car is accomplished in a relatively short time period. I get a lot of satisfaction out of that. Most people don't understand but that's OK. I don't mow my lawn because I don't like too. I traded my lawn mower years ago to the Snap on man for tools. My wife didn't understand but that's OK too.

Thankfully research shows that Service has been performed faithfully every 10K or sooner and all at Porsche dealer service centers... But I don't have money for that so now I'll be taking over and want to replicate factory recommended service.
Still have yours?
