Getting ready for 20k oil change:

No, I am not a rich fella & admittedly a guy who hates paying full price on anything. Anyway, here is some pricepoints if shopping for oil change:

Oil Filter Kit:

Local Porsche Dealer: $47.00
Pelican Parts: $21.75 + $6 sipping

Mobil 1 0-40 Euro Blend 5 quart size:

Pep Boys: $40.95
Amazon: $23.88...Free Shipping for Prime members

Yes, I know there are many here who find changing their own oil beneath them. But I know who cares about their cars most...ME!

So savings enough for a very nice lunch & cabin filter!

Hope this helps some DIY'ers.

 

I agree I have done ALMOST every oil change on every car I have ever owned. I've owned a few I'm 55. On my P car I use 5w40 though and a filter from Pelican.

 

good to know...

 

Does the Pelican oil filter price include O-ring and crush washer?

 

It is important to call out if the Pelican filter is "factory". If so, the price seems good. It is similar to what I received from Sunset Porsche online.

I agree that 5W 40 is the way to go, espicially in California where temperatures do not get below 40F. Walmart has 4 qt bottles for just under $25, based on my last purchase so Amazon is a better deal

ECS has been good to me. Buy a couple filters for the same shipping charge.

I use Mahle brand filters.

 

I'll add another source:

Suncoast Porsche
Oil Filter $25.15 + shipping

Each filter comes with the rubber sealing gasket and appropriate crush washer.

 

Great info though I can't find the oil on Amazon anywhere near that price.

 

Try Walmart, they have 5 gal jugs for $23.88 with free pickup or free shipping if order is over $50. It is where I get it.

 

I learned my lesson with my 993tt. Bought their "OEM" oil filters and my car just smoked to the high heavens. Spoke to a P-car mechanic and he said I needed the real "OEM" filters. The little one has a proprietary valve setup. I Thought it was b.s. But I bought a kit from Sunset, both filters for $30 total if I recall correctly. So far no smoking. So buyer beware.

 

Pelican sells a lot of OEM stuff.

This is not the same as OE Porsche.

 

The O-Ring comes with the cartridge filter. You have to purchase the crush washer separately.

 

991 is just cartridge not a spin on..... no valves.

 

Here is what I paid for a set of two each, oil drain washers and cartridge filters from Pelican.

 

Emailed Pelican before ordering. Reply was both crush washer & seal included. Will post pic of items when they arrive. Also bouught the cabin filters...
