One last q, do you need the oil filter wrench to remove the oil filter housing, or can you do it without?
I see Suncoast carries it, but at $39, seems a bit steep, unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks again!

You do not need that filter wrench for $39.95.
Autozone, at least in my neck of the woods had the proper filter wrench and it was only like $7.00. I am not 100% sure of the size since I have 3 of them(all different) stickers are missing stating the part #. It may be the size that fits VW-

Anyone have the part number for the oil filter wrench at Auto Zone? I checked for the 76mm but came up with nothing. They did sell a Porsche one online for $24.99 but which one is the $6 - $7 one?

I have one that was supposedly for the cayenne that I paid up for. When I went to use it it didn't have the depth of this one and slipped without removing the housing. It looked like the one in the link above. This works perfectly on my 04 CTT

It seems most folks wold have to go to a dealer unless they just Ignore it and put a sticker in the window . I did my 2003 966 turbo all the time but no light to set.

Make sure to get the right 2 plugs though. I opened the power steering drain plug by mistake.
Only a little drained , but I had to top it off and a liter is $20.
The oil drain plugs are pretty much one in front of the other. The Power steering fluid drain is toward the passenger side about 16".

On older V8 Cayennes the oil sump was molded so that oil extractor wouldn't get all oil out. I have a '06 and it has the newer design already. I don't know why they changed it and when. Anyway, with air suspension, this has to be one of the easiest cars to do oil change. No lift needed and plenty of room to roll under the car with a creeper.
