Oil Change on a Porsche 911 (991.1) 

Thank you!👍

@LoanWo1f Lifts are a hot topic of debate, so I don't talk lifts too much. There are lots to choose from, this one works well for me. I installed it myself. It cost $3495.

@@jackharding98 fair enough. Thanks!

Sure, I would agree that your suggestion is another acceptable way to lube the Oring. Although if we want to specify "should have" probably fair to quote the Porsche factory service manual which says " Fit a new Oring and grease lightly with Kluber Syntheso Glep (Part No. 000.043.204.68)". I like to perform the method in my video because it represents the factory intent but utilizes oil that is already available. The oil is only needed to keep the Oring from binding when torquing the filter cap to 19 ftlbs. Thanks for your suggestion. 👍

@@jackharding98 I didn't initially catch that you used the oil remaining on the oil filter cover. That's almost certainly adequate. As for the grease that they suggest in the manual, I'll just say that the Germans in general seem to over complicate things at the expense of practicality.

😆 🤣, great question! I love that you noticed that. It was ok, but I am repeatedly terrible about forgetting to take it off when I'm working. It's a CITIZEN, so nothing super expensive but definitely not a wrenching watch.

ha ok....was just curious cause viewers could hear it hitting and scraping metal...

@@beachlifebestlife It was painfully obvious to me as well when I was editing the video.
