Back on February 5th, I did a Google search for Mobil 1 ESP X3 0W-40 and found a link to a company in Missouri (EVO Supply Group) (I have no affiliation) that had it available to order. I ordered 6 quarts to have some on hand for topping off my 2020 C2S and my 2022 GT3 if need be. I got an order acknowledgement on the same day I placed the order and then didn't hear anything else. Their website just showed the order as pending.

Well, to my pleasant surprise, the 6 quarts just got delivered today.

FYI, you can order ESP X3 (C40 approved) from AutoZone. Free shipping and currently 20% off >$120 (code DEAL4APRIL).

There's some confusion with labeling and inventory but if you order the following part number, you'll get the correct oil (I did within 3 days w/ free shipping).
Part Number: 124798

9972RS

what about the oil filters? are they the same from 991.2 to 992 gt3?

I see that part #s are different

I think the part numbers have changed, but think the filters are the same (991.2 filter number has been superseded to one on 992).

9972RS

it does look similar to the 991.2. I still have a bunch so I used it.

the 991.1 to 991.2 filter was different (ie, looked different).

thx

GrantG

correct

9972RS

So, just to give my experience.


I let everything drain for 1hr. Filter out, both plugs out, I had to put in exacrly 5quarts to get 1 bar below max.


also, the drain plug fits a 10mm triple square.

Any youtube videos on this yet

Any thoughts on which scanner to buy to reset the maintenance light? I know our cars haven't reached the first service interval yet and we are just discussing early oil changes. My DIY oil changes are coming up on my other Porsches and I only want to get one scanner to do all of them. Not sure which one will work on the GT3. I've heard mixed reviews of the icarsoft V 3.0 POR. Some claim that it doesn't work on 992s even though the OEM claims that it does. I'm not looking to spend $1200 for some of the more advanced ones.

Interesting - I needed a bit less oil (just over 4 Liters) and my drain plug was a 9mm triple square XZN

I needed 4.75 quarts to hit the second line from the top.

GrantG

That's just under 4.5 liters, so I guess we're on the same page

Mech33

Ja. All the docs are in liters so always key to convert before dumping in the oil.

Did anyone ever buy the shop manual?

It was taken down for awhile and appears to be available again:
