Replacing fluid on rear differential for 4 wheel drive panamera turbo. This applies to 4-wheel versions of Panamera. Not sure if fluid is same on other versions, but assume should be ok (but its up to you to verify).
Follow each picture in order from start to end.
Read entire set before you start. This gives you a good idea of what to expect, without any surprises (oh, I don't have this tool, etc).
This DIY uses Mobil Delvac 1 full synthetic gear oil 75-W90, which I was able to reference to the factory fluid Porsche uses - Shell TF0951.
Replacement schedule is every 120,000 miles or 12 years. I would definitely not wait that long to do this. After 60,000 miles the fluid is not even translucent, has a very characteristic metallic smell to it.
Similar numbers were stated for Cayenne turbo vehicles, and folks were all changing these fluids after 60k miles. I would do so here as well.
If you see anything that you know is not correct, please chime in so it can be corrected. Thanks and hope it helps.
Drain plug and fill plug both come with their own seals installed, and have one part #: 955 332 057 00 for Panamera 2010-2017.
This diy should be for any four-wheel drive panamera, v8 models.
From service manual it looks like the only difference between different models are quantities to put in (difference up tp 200 mL, less than a regular drinking glass of fluid).
Since you fill until fluid comes out the inspect hole, just make sure what you remove is what you put in, plus extra until starts dripping out inspect hole.

What size are the sealing rings and where would I obtain them? I assume the same sealing rings would be needed for the front diff as well; right? --Rick
Front final drive fill plug and drain plug both appear to be different from each other, and are different from the rear diff plugs too. When I get a chance I will get the front done.
It is number 10 o list and diagram, for both fill and drain, 8mm hex.
These plugs come with rubber seals on them as one part.
Yes, I was looking at that when I reread your DIY post and I was under the impression all I had to do was replace the sealing rings on the existing plugs, which sounds simple enough. I was trying to avoid buying 4 new plugs for front and back, but I guess I need to. Thanks for the feedback.
They always tell you to change. On various other cars I always had good luck with reuse after good cleaning and tighten bit harder.
For my PTT I got new ones though.
