Question on 0W-40 Motor Oil for Cayenne Turbo--Change Oil By Own

I know that for all Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, each new vehicle will be filled with Mobil 1 viscosity grade 0W-40. Anyone know which one is that? The Mobil 1 With SuperSyn(which we can buy from most of the auto stores such like Pepboy) or Mobil 1 Tri Synthetic Formula(I don't see anywhere sell it)?

Anyone changed oil before? How many qt we need for Cayenne Turbo?

Never done oil change by own on mine, but was thinking to try. Anyone have ideas? Thanks in Advance!

The one on the left "Super Syn" is what you need

Thanks Sir! That is what I thought too. This one is easy to buy almost anywhere! Cool Deal!

BTW, Is it hard to change the oil for Cayenne(like most of the cars, or require speical skill or tools)? I done oil change for my BMW 323Ci twice, seems I can handle it. But not sure if I can do it on the Cayenne.

I don't think it's different than most oil changes. Renntech.org has DYI I think. Use the right size hex tools for drain plug and get an oil filter wrench. I use a 12 qt container. You can check your manual for the number of qts your engine holds. I think it's 10 qts.

Thank you! So each oil change needs 10 qts of the oil I guess. I will double check with the manual and see if I can do it by myself. Thanks again for your advise!
