Can someone post the DIY oil change for the Cayenne S? I tried searching these forums, Renntech and Google and didn't find anything.

I just changed the oil in my ///M3 and now getting a bit brave thinking I can do this. I'm not sure what I'm up against but we'll see.

 

its a tough one, I wouldnt rcmnd it.

 

the v6 was easy... really easy. I bet the tech can do it in <10 minutes up on a rack.

 

The actual changing of the oil is not hard. The hardest part is removing the underpanels from the car. Porsche definately decided to make it an obstacle to remove them, haha. But overall, not hard at all.

 

Better off paying the dealer...It's a pain in the **** doing the oil for a Cayenne.

 

Ditto!!! a

 

huh... I pulled the plastic skirts in 3 or 4 minutes????

 

I think they are refering to the V8 as being complicated.

 

anyone go to Valvoline to get oil change?

 

For some people... changing your own oil is fun. I would do it myself even if the dealer did it for free... it's a "bonding experience" with your truck.

 

I tend to agree with you, but I don't always have the time.

 

It brings me back to my younger days... my first 3 or 4 cars were all 60-70's muscle cars... a few of them I rebuilt the engines and I seemingly changed the oil weekly. I kinda like it...

 

My 69 Boss- changed the oil every month after spending an entire summer rebuilding it. I enjoyed changing the oil and waxing that car more than making out with my girl. Later on I actually taught her how to do checks between races.

My Cayenne, I wouldn't let anyone else clean or wax it- I live for those days. If I hadn't just come out of the hospital I would have done the 10k oil change myself and brought it to the dealer to have them hook it up and reset the notifications.

I'm with GoldenPeppa!

 

I performed an oil change on my CS once and will never do it again. Too many under panels to remove. I had a ramp and it still took too long and dirty. If you decide to do it yourself, make sure to remove both drain plugs. There are two sections to drain.

Big O Tires will do my oil change for $100 with Mobile 1 synthetic oil.

 

every time you unscrew them. Also, you should reset service reminder - not possible to do it yourself.
