I'm not waiting either. Probably do the first one myself at 1.5K and will send an oil sample for analysis to establish a baseline. Will then take it to the dealership at 5.5K or 1 year, whichever comes first, for the free service. Only downside of that is that I'll have to rely on the dealership to capture a second oil sample for me.

There seems to be two types of Mobile 1 available:
1) Mobile 1 0W - 40
2) Mobile 1 0W - 40 FS
I think that the FS stands for fully synthetic, but is there a difference between the two products ?
Attached in the image below is what was found in my trunk delivered with the car.
Which one of the two products above are suitable for a 2017 Porsche 4s?
1) Mobile 1 0W - 40
2) Mobile 1 0W - 40 FS

Great post--what OBD2 reader will reset the oil change mx reminder?
I followed your procedure--very easy--great writeup!
Do you have a recommended OBD2 reader to reset the maintenance reminder? I am considering the Creader VII by Launch and the POR II by icarsoft.
My car is a 2017 911S cab (991.2) which may require a newer reader than older models.
Thank you and congrats on the excellent write-up!

Bkrantz, thank you. This thread is awesome. AWE SOME!
I did the procedure yesterday, with the able assistance of my across-the-street neighbor. It went just as Bkrantz said it would.
Cyberbug, for reference, mine took exactly 9 quarts of Mobile 1, which left the oil level monitor a hair below "Full."
That's after letting the oil drain for 45 minutes to an hour, at which point the flow had stopped, but the drain hole was still dripping/weeping just a bit.

the point where he uses a plastic trim removal tool to remove the cable connector from the air intake assembly. Seems risky that it will break.

If you don't want to replace the filter, you could always just drain and change the oil at 5K miles and have the dealer do the whole thing every 10K. Not as good as complete change obviously but would still be of some benefit.

"2) I have not removed the wire connectors yet but if the fasteners used to mount the connectors (and any other wire bundles) are the types that have wings that expand on the underside of the mounting bracket, a 3/32" or 1/4" socket pushed onto the end of the fastener from the back side of the mounting bracket will retract the wings allowing the fastener to be easily withdrawn from the mounting hole with little effort."
Should do the trick..
