Read the TW manual. Some wrenches do no click at low settings. They just disrupt your pressure by a fraction of a second - it would feel as if it broke.

Make a note if this as I don't want anyone stripping the thread via over tightening.

 

I guess I'd need about 2 types of wrench for each compartment, one for release and the other one for tighten(torque wrench). My last concern was that how would I not letting the dealership know that I 'DYI'ed oil change on my car on the next service check? Just so they won't try to find 'thing's to charge me or try to break my warranty.

 

The closest thing I can think of is for you to buy Porsche parts (filter, washer) and use Mobil 1. I wouldn't sweat it tho play it safe if I were you.

 

... And keep your receipt.

 

Maybe it's me but why would you want to 'try' an oil change on a very expensive car in order to save a few dollars and risk a warranty through 2016. It makes no sense unless you're in the middle of an expensive divorce (and the car will go anyways) or you're cheap.If you must save money on oil changes, do so on your lawn mower where the potential damage is few hundred dollars..

 

The further this thread goes the more I agree from what I m reading.

Get a friend who knows cars to help if you must DIY until you are comfortable to DIY.

 

That's probably best for the OP to do if he's never changed oil on any car before, which it sounds like that might be the case. Nothing to feel bad about since we've all had to start somewhere. We all have different comfort levels towards car maintenance. Porsches really are no different than any other car when it comes to oil changes...and the 911 is actually the easiest I've ever done. I have to crawl under my truck and contort my arm to reach the filter on that thing. Maybe when I get to the age where I can't get up and down off the ground like I can now then I'll consider letting a shop do my Porsche oil change for me.

 

I have no problem of going to the dealer to have it done and have a nice cup of coffee while they're doing their work, but it's the kind of feeling of achieved something more once I get to know how work on a car that I love so much instead of having someone else worked on it, plus the extra I can saved to do something else that day.I'm still young at 24 so there should be a long time before my next 'end game' porsche.

 

Nothing wrong with that,,, just get some confidence before bitting off too much. Best of luck. We will be here to answer any questions you come across while working on your P....
