Turbo Sumps - 22 ftlb
Filter Housing - 19 ftlb

In additon to the crush washers on each drain plug, there are 2 different O-rings in the filter housing that should be changed.

ColoradoSilver:
Cost for the filter, 4 crush washers and 2 O-rings was $15 last time I ordered from Sunset. 8 quarts of M1 will be about $50. So about $65 total.

Thanks for the information. I have a $50.00 off my next service cupon for my Porsche Dealer, so I may go through them for my next change. But in the future I intend on doing it myself. Good to know that it's easy to do and not so costly when you DIY.

Just have to get a good oil catch, or bucket from what I've read about.
