Nice but do you feel pulling the fuse is overkill?

 

I think it could be considered overkill yes, but it is nice not to have the oil light come on for even a few seconds if you can avoid it. It really doesn't add much time to the process, just a couple of minutes. I am sure plenty of people have performed an oil change without doing it and experience no issues; just a little extra I wanted to include. Thanks for watching!

 

Just did my oil for the first time. Can't believe I haven't done it myself sooner...

Thanks for the vid and the fuse tip. I agree, the fuse was easy and worth the effort. Now, why didn't anyone on this forum warn me how much the oil from the tank splatters everywhere? (j/k, but holy crap I thought I was prepared for it and I wasn't. It splattered everywhere and was not fun wiping up. Good thing my floor is coated!

 

Pulling the fuse didn't help much if at all.

The oil light isn't on but the oil pressure is still low, less than 1 bar at start and shortly after.

Also, the oil wasn't hot. The engine should be up to temperature, or at least 80C (which is hot enough to check the oil level). When I've changed my Turbo's oil the engine is hot because I just drove the car 30 miles to the office where I would do the oil change.

The drain time is 20 minutes.

Because the engine is not hot when you change the oil when you add the fresh oil you have to run the engine longer in order to get the oil hot enough to check the oil level with the electronic oil level sensor.

You need to verify the oil level reading is correct based on knowing you put in the correct amount of oil. IOWs, you don't or shouldn't rely upon the electronic oil level sensor to tell you have the right amount of oil in the engine you rely upon the fact you physically put the right amount of oil in the engine. Porsche techs have a digital readout of the quantity of oil that is dispensed from the oil gun in the service bay. Thus they know how much oil was added to the engine and then that the oil level sensor reading agrees with this.

The drain plugs on the turbo-chargers get tightened to 30nM (22 ftlbs).

 

Nice diy, happen to have the part numbers for all the crush washers.

 

Turbo (one on each) crush washers: 90012314030
Crankcase: 90012311830
Oil tank: 90012301020

use this website for the crush washers. they cost pennies on the dollar compared to oem
http://www.koperformance.com

just search the part # on there and they will redirect you to the right washer

 

Great video, thanks for sharing OP! I'm going to have to do this DIY one of these days. I just scheduled an oil change at an indy this week, who's going to do an inspection of the car as well, so I figure I'm going to keep the appointment.

Mind me asking where do you get the oil, filter, and O-rings?
