oil change - how much and how often?
#16
I am buying the oil (100euro) but I do the service at the dealer, 400-500euro...

Alex, try to find a good indipendent.....leave the stealership.....just about anyone can do an oil change on our cars. 400€ for labor and (maybe) a filter is criminal!!!!

Yeah, I know Ema but it is very important to have all the services done at the "stealership" for when you will want to sell the car, to have a history of it.

What's the "pump seal"?? EDIT, found it, it's a washer for the oil tank.
BTW, I don't want to hijack, but has anyone got the part number for the Rear Main Seal???I will be doing a clutch job so I could change it if it's leaking..Thanks!

Just in case anyone is interested, there is a DIY on oil changes for this particular engine block - a little different on the 997 (as they do not have drain bolts on the turbochargers) but fairly similar and straightforward.
