This is one of my favorite jobs to do with my Porsche 911 and although it can be a little intimidating for first-timers, it's actually a very simple and straight forward job. What's more, doing it yourself can save you $200 or more at the Porsche dealer. In this video we go step-by-step through the job as well as doing a thorough inspection of the oil filter and talk about the infamous IMS BEARING and what to look out for.
As ever, thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. Keep the comments and chat coming! More videos coming soon. Cheers!

Attention to detail? What about putting the new oil in?

@ItsPinecone_911 Год назад

❤❤❤❤ Making me miss my 996.2 more and more.....so glad it went to you and you take proper care of it. I will get another Porsche hopfully very soon

@AutoAmateur Год назад

I hope so too!

@Rush_Subdivisions 10 месяцев назад

I don’t recall you saying anything about running the car a few minutes to warm up the oil so it flows out more easily. I like doing that on my 996 4S.

Thanks James! Very nicely explained with all the details required.

Porsche recommend changing the filter housing periodically also ,the whole kit,filter seal and housing is like £35 ,there is a small widget in the bottom of the housing that can become detached mine was

Nice video! There's a plastic bracing skeleton @4:56 when you're disassembling the old oil filter. But... I didn't see you transfer that skeleton into the new oil filter. Did you do the transfer off camera, or does the new oil filter come with its own plastic skeleton? Supposedly the skeleton is to help prevent the paper oil filter from collapsing under pressure, which could lead to oil starvation.

@Sharkie936 11 месяцев назад

Yea, so you only empty it? Who do you get to put the new oil in?

@928smnporsche3 Год назад

Hi James. Nice DIY video! Keep ‘‘em coming. Was there a reason you didn’t partially fill the oil filter housing with fresh oil? I’ve always done that to alleviate any dry start issues associated with a longer time till the oil pressure comes up.

@AutoAmateur Год назад

Thank you! Having seen first hand how quickly the oil gets injected into the filter housing when you first start the engine (fast, furious and messy if the housing isn't torqued correctly!), I don't worry about that. Within seconds of starting the engine it's swimming in oil.

James, Which vehicle lift do you have in your garage. Thinking seriously about getting one, and yours looks to be less intrusive than some. Thanks

@bjbraunlich 10 месяцев назад

Awesome. Thanks. Can you post a video on a 991.2?

@AutoAmateur 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely!! I'm absolutely dying to get the first 991.2 video finished. Hopefully this week!

@K1dPhresh1 Год назад

996 and 997.1, filter is underneath. For 997.2 and 991.1 (at least, not sure about 991.2) the filter is on top. Newer 9A1 engine. Like the stripes. Have you ever considered bore scoping the cylinders from the sump? As handy as you are, I think it’d make good content. Not really that hard.

@AutoAmateur Год назад

That’s a great idea!! Sounds absolutely terrifying but I’m game!

@K1dPhresh1 Год назад

@@AutoAmateur Drain the oil, drop the sump plate, turn the engine by hand and snake the borescope into the cylinders. A lot of trial and error trying to get the scope into the cylinders, but not rocket science. Definitely something you can handle. If I can do it…. And I don’t even have a RU-vid channel, Podcast, and snazzy website. 😂

@erolfox Год назад

Did you ever do the video focused on the interior leather etc?

@AutoAmateur Год назад

No, I still have a few pieces I want to finish before I do that.

@erolfox Год назад

@@AutoAmateur Looking forward to it. Interior is one of the highest complaints on 996 but few videos showing a renewed interior!

@berniedmd1901 Год назад

Are the stripes on the car Matte Black or Gloss Black?

@AutoAmateur Год назад

They're matte black. I actually had both options with me to choose from but the gloss looked like it was going to be way too 'in your face'. I like the contrast between the paint finish and matte stripes.
