Porsche 911 (996) Turbo Oil Change DIY!
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2017
- Hi Everyone! This is our oil change video for our 2004 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo (X50). Sorry it is so long 😉 It is the “complete” process including draining both turbo reservoirs, pre-lubing with oil in the filter housing, and pulling the fuel pump fuse to clear the fuel rails in order to pre-lube at the end. That makes for a lot of steps! It is pretty straight forward and should take less than an hour depending on the steps you preform. I believe this also applies to the 997.1 (Mezger) but you may not have the turbo reservoir plugs so you can skip that step 😊.
If you have any questions or comments (or if I left anything out), please leave them below. Always consult your Owner’s Manual/Shop Manual to verify all steps and values.
The following steps are optional:
• Pulling the fuel pump relay for pre-lube after refilling the oil.
• Pouring oil down the filter container.
• Draining the two turbo reservoirs.
The parts used are:
• Oil Filter Kit (includes large rubber O-Ring): 996-107-225-53
(goo.gl/1P6N1P)
• Filter Cover Socket: 000-721-920-40
(goo.gl/ATgiPg)
• Turbo reservoir plug washers (2) 900-123-140-30-18X22 (Al)
(goo.gl/85Tqfx)
• Oil Tank plug washer: 900-123-010-20 20X26 (Cu)
• Case drain plug washer: 900-123-118-30 22X27 (Al)
• Oil cover snout rubber O-ring seal: 999-707-465-40
• Magnetic Drain Plug: 944-107-197-01
You’ll need:
• 15mm Wrench/Socket
• 19mm Wrench/Socket
• 27mm Wrench
• 8mm Hex
• Torque Wrench
Torque Values:
• Case Drain Plug: 52 Ft-Lbs
• Oil Tank Plug: 44 Ft-Lbs
• Turbo Plugs: 22 Ft-Lbs
• Oil Filter Cover: 19 Ft-Lbs
The oil I use is Mobil1 Turbo Diesel 5W-40, but use what is specified by your owners manual.

Best oil change video ever. I don't even own a 996/997.
+Mike Barber great. Someday!
Word, I hope to own one sometime in the future and I feel I can change the oil now after watching this video.
three years later and this is still one of the best tutorial I have seen. Great work!
Extremely thorough. I am very confident that I can now change my oil on my 2003 Porsche Turbo. Thank you Heidi and Franny, Well done!
This Gal needs no intro to maintenance on probably any car, but I have a feelin she is highline all the way!
Very thorough instructions and informative to boot...namaste, bon jour, aloha and Ciao....
absolutely the most comprehensive and best video ive seen for an oil change on a 996 turbo , great job.
I could not be more impressed! This lady is not only doing an oil change she obviously understands how to look after a performance motor and provides an intelligent commentary.
I was able to do the oil change yesterday. I just went step by step exactly as Franny said and it turned out perfect. Run of the mill oil changes spots wouldn't touch the car and I really wouldn't want them to knowing what I know now about changing this car's oil. Now that I can DIY it I don't have to worry about killing a bunch of time taking it to and picking it up from a European car shop. BTW Franny, I didn't have a 27 either....I don now! lol. Appreciate you Franny! Cheers, Darin
Great video! I used it to change my oil on my 2001 996 Turbo. Keep the 996 Turbo content coming :)
+John Gagliardi John, that is awesome! I am always happy to hear feedback like that. We do have some other things planned. I have been wanting to put heated seats in our car (the option was not chosen with our used car) and we are also going to put a garage door opener in where a blank switch is on the dash. We will also have some maintenance. I have been bugging Franny that it is time to bleed the brakes. It's been a busy summer. I hope we can get to it soon! Hope you have checked out some other videos on our Turbo. Not all are DIY, but there are some fun rides, a review and such. We do have a detailing winter car wash out there already. Glad you are enjoying our channel. Check out our BroAdmoor video. The 996 is the star on the trip (1st half of the video). Heidi
you rock! Awesome video! Thanks for explaining everything in great detail!
I bet the Porsche dealers aren't as thorough as you. Thanks for the fantastic video.
Thanks so much!
Good job Franny, I did give it a thumbs up and I watch it for fun, and it was fun. Thanks for uploading.
OMG. Great and thorough video. Appreciate it. You are awesome. Getting ready for my first 996 turbo oil change.
This is the best video I have seen on the oil change. Great work.
Amazing video. So thorough! I have 100% confidence I can do this job now. And I subscribed!
Cannot fault the video you explained everything that could be explained.So knowledgable ! Hi from England 🇬🇧
You did a great job on the video. I have the same car less the x50 package. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm really looking forward to other videos on your Porsche. Thank you again for doing this. It helps me tremendously.
Best oil change video!!! Thank you!,,,
Wearing a bright white visor while working with oil. Only a pro can pull that off :)
and a white polo at that. All that would be brown if it was me doing the work.
+Tim Gossett oh believe me, she has plenty of oil stained shirts! Lol. Heidi
@@HeidiandFranny I've found a great way to get out oil stains. Fill a 16 oz squire bottle with warm water and add 2-3 good squirts of Dawn. Mix gently or add a few drops of alcohol and shake. That reduces the foam. Spray the spots as soon as you take the clothing off. It pre-treats the oil and keeps a lot of it from staining. It works on surface spots, even large surface spots, but won't take out anything that is soaked in oil. :( It will also take out dirt and grime. I work on my cars in our parking lot and it is dirty. I come in looking like Pig Pen!
Great DIY, very thorough with good explanations of what you're doing. The alternate angles you provide are appreciated. Keep up the good work.
+Kevin Fanciulli Thanks So much Kevin! Franny
Thank you Heidi and Fanny! I just bought mine, and look forward to doing my own maintenance when ever possible. Your video gives me the confidence to go for it! ( but I will not be wearing anything white) I've been wrenching for years, and I really appreciate your attention to detail that can be so critical to an enjoyable experience. Cheers!
The best How to Video for my Porsche Turbo! I'm ready for my first 996 oil change today. Thank you!
+Kraig Strom that’s awesome! Let us know how it goes.
Such a very nice and comprehensive video fir oil change. I have been videos of how to DYO the oil change but this video is so good. I’m planning to buy a 911 (996).
Put simply-you are a great mechanic.
easily the best maintenance video I have ever seen
Extremely informative video👍🇦🇺
Excellent. Gives me the confidence to do this myself at some point.
GREAT VIDEO.
I have done lots of oil changes ( this was my first in a 996 Turbo )
Really well done !
The lil tips were so useful .
Torque info is very valuable .
I liked & subscribed
Thank you
Awesome video! Getting ready to do the first oil change on a new to me 997.1 Turbo. So helpful how you break to process down to step by step and even lay out the tools/washers/etc. BTW, one of your other videos was helpful in focusing on the Mezger engined cars. :)
The best video on oil change for a 996 Turbo. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Just a terrific video with everything you could possibly need to know about changing oil on 996 Turbo X50. These ladies are awesome!
Awesome as always Heidi, please keep up the great work :)
Fantastic video as always. Good to see the turbo drain. I never would have even thought about that. Glad to see someone else point out to check the pleats of the filter, very important.
Thanks. You are so right about the filter. That is a super important step and maybe more important than the oil change itself. Instant readout on the health of your engine. F.
Amazing job! So professional!
This has to be the most thorough oil change video on CZcams. I give it more than one thumbs up, thanks Franny!
Thanks!
really good video on teching everyone how to do this the best thing u are learning new sutff from this video everyday
Wow! Who ever thought it would be that easy. Thanks
Great video thanks from a new 996 Turbo owner.
Great video! I am taking delivery of my very own 04 996 Turbo X50 Coupe this coming week and feel very confident in oil changes after watching. Thank you for such a quality and detailed DIY. Hope to see more thanks!
You bet! That's super exciting about your new car! You are going to love it! I'm just finishing up shooting a belt change so that will be up soon. More in store after that! Thanks, Franny
Yet another great video, Franny as always you are a great person to watch and listen to, Thanks
Aww, thanks!
Well done, very complete, all steps nicely outlined.
Great video! I learn so much about my car. Thank you!
VERY good video! Great work, Franny!!!!!!!!!! Some people do not drain the turbos and the oil filter case because of the small amount of oil to drain. but thats not the right proper way. YOU are doing the work properly!!!!
You’re the best Franny!
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Brilliant video and i like the information on things like washes part numbers,very helpfull. thanks.
Thank you for all the little tips. I'm obsessed with BMW and Porsche and have started watching all your videos. Very informative also danke schön :)
bitte schon!
@@HeidiandFranny Hi Franny. I'm kinda curious why you chose 5w/40? I think 0w/40 for me always seemed too thin. I also haven't used mobil 1 in years Ive been using nothing but Motul, liqui moly and Castrol in my BMWs.
Your videos are great!! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial on how to change the oil on a 996 Turbo! I like the level of precision and how well it is filmed and explained. I'll try to do the same on my 996 GT3 I guess it is the same (without the turbos...) Many thanks Heidi & Franny 🙂from Switzerland
Thankyou Franny, the way that you describe with so much detail and the way you are so organised in the workshop is inspiring. Step by step we are led through with clarity and precision giving no chance of mistakes being made by those of us who wish to change the oil in our 996 turbos. I look forward to watching other videos of yours in the future on this amazing car as i have a 2002 model here in the UK. I doubt if there will be anyone else who can do a better job in producing a video to this standard. Thankyou again,
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful :)
Well done! Great detail for a thorough job.
Thanks so much! Franny
Excellent video, you do just the right amount of explanation for each step.
+Tommy Estridge thanks.
Perfect. Just perfect
That was lot more comprehensive and detailed that I expected. Well done!
+RocketJohn thanks John!
Your vídeo helps me a lot. I will try to do it by myself. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great help. Fantastic video.
Awesome!!! Your super cool and very helpful.
Nice work Franny. Well documented as usual.
+chuck121370 glad you enjoyed. Thanks.
Great video as always, I don't have a Porsche, but love watching this kind of thing, thanks for sharing, and the tips!
+steffydog1 it's a long and thorough video. I am glad to hear you enjoyed. Thanks.
Great video... very informative. Thank you!
Awesome job! Thanks a bunch!
I've changed the oil on my 996TT many times ... these directions are Excellent.
Thanks Krusty!
You make the best video. Much better. And more knowledge then dealer
Excellent walk through. Greetings and thanks from Germany.
Thanks!
I completed my own 996TT's oil change yesterday. Thanks to how comprehensive y'all are, there was not a single surprise - EXCEPT for the stripped hex on the right side turbo reservoir! Somebody screwed that up before I bought the car, but thanks to your guidance that this is a very small amount of oil, I didn't worry about skipping it. Everything else, including pull the C4 fuse and pre-lubricating through the filter, went precisely as your video showed. Thanks for all this excellent content!
Great! (well, not about that stripped bolt...) I think most folks do the turbos the first time and then never again ;) Glad it went well!
Thanks a bunch. Thorough and super tips.
Nice video and it´s good that you provided all the partnumbers
+Niklas Lundström yea, thanks so much for watching. Glad the part numbers are helpful. Franny.
Read about you two in my issue of 356 Registry. Your videos are top notch and enjoyed this one in particular even though I don't have a Turbo. Like you I used a plastic funnel until I found a metal one with a "flex-neck." What a great invention...fits any application. Happy motoring and keep those videos coming.
+Camp Walosi that's great to hear! Franny will be creating a LOT of 356 videos, so I am glad you subscribed and welcome to our channel. Heidi
Good job Franny...thanks!
She is amazing. And that’s a good thing.
Wow awesome!! Great job Franny! I don't even own a 996 yet alone a Porsche but I'm planning on it soon. This video will really help me out.
Thank you!
Great! Good luck in your search :)
Love you giving the part number on all the parts too!!
You bet! We are trying to links as well to make things easier :)
Excellent video. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Well done best ive seen
This video is great!!!! Very thorough. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent as usual Fannie. keep them coming. A big hello to Heidi
Thanks! I was ribbing Heidi this morning that she needs to get something out as well ;)
Excellent - as a porsche tech - well done
Very detailed and educational video. Thanks
+Caner Sahin Thanks Caner, glad you enjoyed it! F
Wow, excellent presentation, I've done this same video and yours makes me feel ashamed of myself for doing it, lol well done!!!
Hi Clint. This is Heidi. Franny can do that, trust me, I edit too and her editing often blows me away. However, as CZcamsrs, we are all in the content business together and your videos add value to people in whatever you decide to do. Keep creating. I couldn't find your video, maybe you haven't posted it yet? I am sure Franny is flattered, but we all can learn from each other. Thanks for the compliment. That was very nice of you. I will check out some more of your videos soon. Heidi
I miss you guys!!!
Best Video with a great a deal of minors details explained; which normally not covered by the official Porsche Garages Mechanics and a real DIY.
Besides facility look a Professional maintenance garage, a great video.
Thanks so much!!
nice work!! Great job.
+Trajan Parker thanks!
Great video thanks!
thank you
"Turkey baster...we all know what that's for." - I seriously stated "basting turkeys" aloud... So glad i found your videos. Getting me more amped about owning my own 996 Turbo.
You are going to love it! :)
Beautiful oil change video! 👍
Now I wan't to install a lift in my garage...
Thanks! They are awesome! Check our review on ours... Super simple/easy. Franny
Great, thank you.
Holy crap, your videography (?sp) is off the charts. I'll let the adjustable wrench pass this one time, but girl, correct this situation!
+D really sorry man, my bad. I do have a list of tools and sometime I am not able to find them (place won't have the right size). Yeah, adjustable wasn't the best. Next time. Heidi
great video I've just got myself a 996 turbo x50 that I'll feature on my channel soon your video was very helpful keep these up. oh and please do one when you rebuild the hydrolic rams. keep it up!
Automotive Underdogs Thanks! Yeah, that's going to be a thing... They still work fine for now ;). I think I'll try replacing the copper washers first, but it may not be the fittings. I need to do a bit of research first I think. Looking forward to your video. Franny
Great how to video...
Bravissima, descrizione minuziosa e impeccabile
Good video production!
Thanks!
Bonjour. Bravo pour cette superbe démonstration méthodique d'un entretien comme on en rencontre plus beaucoup. Superbe voiture, manifiquement bichonnée. Typiquement la voiture qu'on a envie d'acheter derrière vous .Bonne continuation. 👍✋
Excellent. 👍🏻. Thanks!
Thanks! Franny
This is one of the best maintenance videos I’ve seen. On par with @chrisfix . but the torque specs seem a little high? Great job!
If only we had his (Chris Fix) numbers. Lol. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for your nice video now i can d.i.y. with my 996tt
Hello Heidi & Franny!
Fantasic video which takes information and details to a whole new level! 🤩
I would love to see a video, as detailed as this, were you change the driving belt on a Porsche 997.2.
Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
Thanks Lars! I did do a belt on the turbo and it is similar, but not exactly the same: czcams.com/video/Qndx3WmEsTs/video.html
