Default Changed the Cabin filter and air filter.

Changed both filters in my 987.2 today. Took about an hour. Would have taken a lot less time but it was the first time I accessed the engine from the top. Its a little complicated but there are a lot of videos out there on the process. Very fun working on this car!

Good on you. I've done the same. Yup, it'll go a LOT faster the 2nd time. Fun to actually see an engine in there!

sorry, no pics. I was too focused on how to get at the engine.

Air filter. Thank you 101 Projects book and YouTube videos. You can fix almost anything with a good YouTube video ;-)

oil change coming soon. Already have the video done, just need to go through the footage and edit out the useless garbage.

^What he doesn't tell you is on the 987.2 the oil filter is further set into the motor requiring a long extension. The oil filter is noticeably longer than the one from M96/M97 tho which is a good thing.



Quick Reply: Changed the Cabin filter and air filter.
