Anyone done an oil change on their 991 TT/S yet?

Looking for any tips or pointers.

Thanks!

 

I can't get the SVG photos to show up - Microsoft sucks, but from TSI PAGinfosystem site:

I'll update this when I figure out what's wrong with my browser.

 

Thanks for this!
Pictures would definitely be a bonus if at all possible!

 

upon last change i for the first time found a few bits myself. nothing at all like that drain plug pic. that would make me physically ill to see.

i've put roughly 6k miles on the car since then. just hit 176k miles in the last few days and have been able to regularly visit trip digit speeds on the way to the market in my new neighborhood.

i am ready to slice open my soon to be changed filter. these motors may need a rebuild? but not before 400k+ miles and that's only if they are abused. regular street driving? 500k.

This is great, thank you!
