I took some video while I changed my oil sunday. I thought people would like to see it - especially those on the fence about tackling some of these simple DIY projects.
I even show how to open up the filter and look for metal bits!
Sorry if the editing is a little jumpy - I had to trim out anything that wasn't important to get it to fit the YouTube 10 minute limit.

FYI, if anyone is interested, Purolator Porsche oil filter is made in Germany, not China. I have been using this filter for a couple of years. It looks just like the original Porsche filter with the same markings. Very easy to get at my parts, and runs about $10.

[QUOTE=Van;8079102]I spent about an hour on it. I let it drain for 30 minutes or so - that's when I drank the beer. 
A lot of miles on that oil - about 8,000.
Glad you guys like it!
I think I'll change the spark plugs some time this winter - they've been in for 35k miles. If/when I do, I'll make a video about that, too.[/QUOTE]
Will be waiting for this vid.... I need to do mine and Ive never done one yet.... Looks easy though

Thanks for making this video! After my disheartening call to the dealer to get a quote for an oil change yesterday, I decided I was going to do it myself. Having a lift would probably make this easier, but I'll probably just park her rear over my driveway and hope for the best, lol.

Hey Van-
I just bought my first Porsche, an '02 Carrera Coupe, and plan to do the oil changes myself. Your video is a huge help. Thanks for putting the time into making and posting it. Most appreciated.

p.s. If you are ever in greater Syracuse, and are interested, I'd like to buy you a microbrew and talk some Porsche. I am a regular at the Blue Tusk in Armory Square.
