Plan to tackle a few DYI jobs on the Cayenne S ('06): Spark plugs and oil change. Need advice on a few tools related questions:

1) The torque arm (pictured) needs to come off for the spark plug change. What tool (type and size) is required to remove the bolts for the torque arm and the torque arm bracket? Is this something I can find in a regular auto store?

2) Manual refers to a tool for removing the oil filter. Does it need a special Porsche tool or just the standard filter removal tool available at any auto store?

3) For any Porsche specific tools, where is the best source to get it from?

Thanks in advance.

 

Autozone has the 12 point or triple square set.

 

A torx set (both socket and insert) and triple square set. nothing special about the oil filter, the cup works well.

 

I think the oil filter wrench is a standard "B" or something like that from the normal national chains.

 

Porsche does make a special filter remover, but it's not needed. Of course I bought it anyway...

Amazon is a good source for the triple square set.

Suncoast or Sunset for p-car specific tools and parts.
