What is the proper torque for engine oil drain bolt?
Hi. I'm new to this forum, just sold my M4 and moved to 2013 911 991 C4. < GREAT CAR!
I'm about to DIY my oil changes, as well as air / cabin air filters.
My selection is Mobile 0W40.
Also, will it be to low for Florida weather?
Thanks guys

The torque spec is 37 ft.lbs. Using a new crush washer.
Oil filter cap is 19 ft.lbs.
The cabin filters are very easy, just have to be a midget contortionist for the one under the glove box.
Mobil 0W40 is Porsche A40 approved. Mobil 5W50 is too, and a good selection for your Florida heat.

In 991.1's
Oil drain plug to oil pan -- M18 x 1.5 replace sealing ring -- Tightening torque 50 Nm (37 ftlb.)
I don't know what the 991.2's are with the plastic oil pan.

991.2, just tighten until you hear the click. It'll be obvious once you do it. Standard on a lot of newer German cars with plastic oil pans.
