Porsche 911 (991) Oil Change Step by Step

- This video we’ll go through a step-by-step oil change of a Porsche 911 991.1 2014 Carrera 4. This covers many other model porches and is the only video that I found that walks you through every step of the way down to resetting the message on your instrument panel. Also, I invented a new automotive term I need your help in spreading. A trunk in the front is a frunk but an engine in the back is a motor booty. You heard it here first.
I hope this helps.

This is by far the most thorough and detailed oil change video for 991.1 on CZcams! Thank you so much for sharing!👍
Thanks for the video. Helped me change mine
Excellent level of detail, I particularly appreciate showing exactly how the engine cover and fans pieces are removed and then exactly how they are reassembled. Explaining how to seat the oil filter properly was good. Also liked the step-through of how to reset the oil change reminder. Great job, much appreciated.
You made all looks simple and effortless, thank you for your unbelievable brilliant tutorial video. Indeed, Porsche dealership charges outrageously absurdly overpriced for this simple oil change.
Once again Thank You, sir.
Very informative. I don’t plan on changing the oil myself, but if I did this is the perfect video to watch.
I've done oil changes in 997's with no issues but was always a little nervous about all the new covers on the hidden engine of the 991. This video made me realize it's also a breeze. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Now on the hunt for a 2013-2015 991!
Literally perfect. Cadence, detail, camera work.
Bravo sir!
If you buy an expensive car and cannot do the maintenance and repairs yourself, then you deserve to pay through the NOSE
It’s not as hard as a porsche but I do the work on my 2002 325i myself, keep in mind, I hate working on it with a passion but I love driving the little thing.
@@ItalwaysWorkz As a European who doesn’t drive Euro, I applaud you 👏 cheers 🍻
Very nice and detailed oil change video. Thank you.
awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great and thorough video about an important maintenance. I live in Fl and I change the oil in May just before the big heat comes in so the fresh oil can deal with the high temp. better.
Thank you so much this was extremely helpful
Fantastic video! Very well done.
Excellent and very informative video. Ontario Porsche in So CA wanted $792 to change the oil & filter on my 2014 991 Turbo S. Ridiculous. I am now going to do it myself. Thanks much.
Your instructions and video is absolutely perfect! Perfect pace, perfect instructions. Anybody can change their oil by following this step by step. Thank you.
So good to hear. Thank You.
Very thorough...didn't know you had to have a diagnostic tool to reset. Will be attempting this service soon.
Such a good video. Thank you.
Great video! Might also want to measure out how much oil was drained and then replace with the same amount. Then check the electronic oil quantity level after the service. I over filled my 991.1 once on a DIY oil change - no damage. Whew!
I always use two jacks, because I like to minimize the body twist. Thanks for a great video.
Very nice job! This video is very much appreciated!
Glad it helped
Thank you!! I followed exactly what you did on my 2016 911 black edition. Perfect and easy!! I also bought the car soft and reset the message. Excellent video!!
Awesome, so glad it helped.
Extremely helpful. Went very smooth on my 2013 Carrera 4 with 25k miles that I just purchased thanks to your awesome video. Thank you.
excellent presentation. thank you.
Very detailed, you saved hundreds of dollars, Porsche dealership wouldn't like this lol.
I have a small lip from my driveway into the garage. If I put 1” thick plywood on the floor of garage, I can park back wheels on it and it lifts the car enough that I can remove drain plug without having to use the ramps or jack. Saves a little time. I have a 2014 C4S and the process is identical to one shown in video. Great work!
Very well done.....Thanks!
Excellent video as I just bought a 991.1.
Nice, you'll enjoy it. So far easy to service. 40k is coming up with spark plugs.
excellent video ! I would also say, that I think your voice is very good quality and tone for all kinds of narration 👍
Bro, excellent freakin video, excellent.
Researched a few NONE as detailed as this one!!!
Great video! I would add nitrile gloves to the list of supplies.
Chill, detailed, and professional tutorial, this goes to my favorites until I need to do mine
Great step by step, thank you. I'm wondering ..... at 05:26, the little plastic point, sometimes become ''brittle'' and they broke (don't ask me how I know ;-) ) so to prevent that, I usually put a little dab of grease in the female part so they are very easy to remove next time. Thank you again for your time of making video. Cheers
Thanks smart guy
Can you change the filter if you only remove the fan on the right side? It looked like there was enough room to remove the filter cap without having to remove the air box in the center and the fan on the left side. That would make this job even easier. Also, any reason why you’re using 5w-40 instead of 0w-40? I thought the base 991.1 calls for 0w-40 oil. I know there isn’t much difference between the two, but wondering if you’re using 5w-40 for a reason? Thanks
37 Ft. Lbs is the torque setting that you see recommended for the oil drain plug - but you really should go with 19 Ft. Lbs instead. Many references to that on the Rennlist forum.
Thanks Bro
No problem homie
I like to have my car level when doing an oil change to get most of the oil out since the oil rad is out front. In my case with a sloped driveway, lifting the rear gets the car pretty well level.
Sweet. Now I just gotta get a 911.
Brilliant tutorial. Great details. Wish me luck! One question, how come you don't just drive up onto the rhino ramps? Also, any opinion on race ramps? I've also seen people using two jacks and back up jack stands. What's the safest?
I find it hard to drive up them. They slide and I'm concerned I'll over shoot them. A bit harder with an automatic. Good luck you can do it.
Great presentation thanks, have you tackled changing the air filters?
I did post a video for that. Search 911 air filter
thank you@@how2togo
Great video; Thank you! 👍🏼 👍🏼
When you’re topping off the oil (1/2 quart @ a time, engine is warmed up, etc)… does the car immediately register/ display the new level after turning the engine back on?
Thx again! 👍🏼
Yes
Great video love your narration
Doing your own oil change is like changing your babies diapers! Great bonding with the car, not to mention the satisfaction of doing it yourself
Nice floor - poured concrete with crushed rock for texture?
Nice video. Putting fragile expensive parts of the floor, at least in my garage, is risky. I'd probably step on them.
Why does the oil have to comply with A40??
Excellent video! Question though, at minute 1:02 your letting the car warm, what’s the deal with the ticking noise? I recently passed on a 991.1 because I couldn’t get over that very same noise… thanks again for sharing.
Engine sounds normal to me
Noisy valves. It’s normal on these. My 991.1 does it too.
I’ve got the same noise, I guess that’s normal.
I read many complaints about that ticking noise. I’m gonna show mine to a specialist to check if it’s normal and not something else …
Only thing missing cut resistance gloves which would protect you hands
My car does not have the purple connector for the diagnostic tool
Great video for the diyers,… but for the air filters you have to remove the entire rear bumper…..
You got it.
The weight of the car is so balanced that when you lift it with the jack it lifts both wheels. Daaaammm
Oil change done & that will be a total of 1500. 😂
Have a Like 👍 for "motor booty" lol 😆
people need to stop equating "dark oil = bad oil", it doesn't. Your engine oil will go dark shortly even after you put in fresh oil, so being dark doesn't mean shit...
Why didn’t you back onto the ramps?
I find it to be easier to just jack the car up amdnslip them under the wheel. I'm concerned I could overshoot.
The car doesnt need to be level?
Not perfectly no. I'm putting about what the car holds, almost 8 quartz.
Ballpark what would a dealership charge for this service?
They quoted me $600
650 bucks !!! And they will always add few more extra problems to steal your hard earnings cash.
It takes 7.9 quarts
heed comment at 12:33... if not, you will definitely be cleaning up the garage floor...for some reason i know this as a fact...
7.5L not qts
I bet you that your local Porsche Dealership hate you for posting this.
They hate me because I replaced 4 TPMS and got $6,000.00 tips.
Dealership quoted over $90,000.00 just for TPMS. I done it for much less & more. Have this client & many other for life.
* 4 TPMS batteries
* Rotates tires/Nitrogen Aired
* Oil/Filter/Air Filter
* Brake Flushed
* Transmission Flushed
I appreciated good honest mechanics. Maybe porsche has so much overhead to be profitable. However, doesnt mean we have to pay it. I have a hard time finding private shops that will work on 911's close by.
@@how2togo Finding a good honest mechanic is like finding a good doctor or an attorney.
I and my daughter play around with Porsche. These cars like Bugatti & Ferrari are not bad to work on.
And even dealerships rare see a Porsche 959. That TPMS is way way overpriced.
Don't be surprised that your TPMS batteries are going to die soon.
Lucky the part doesn't cost as much as the 959.
You can save money & just replace just the battery. Which I do to many. This way I & my daughter don't have to buy the tool to program it.
They charge $600 for this?
Yep
Great video. I looked at a 2012 911 S a few weeks ago at a Mazda dealer in Buford, Ga. I've never owned a Porsche before. They wanted $88k. It had 35k miles but I knew that seem too high. I checked KBB and with those miles. It was worth $63k. @@how2togo
So every time you change the air filter you have to pull out the rear bumper? That the most stupid engineering I ever seen
Thought the same, although it is easier to do than I expected. The torx screws are easy to remove, the bumper weighs next to nothing. The lights where not difficult to do. I found that the air filters do not get as dirty as in other cars I have owned. Wondered if the distance from intake was the reason.
