How to Change Oil on a Porsche 911 (997.1)



This video takes you through a (surprisingly easy) oil change on a 2005 Porsche 911 (997.1). The process is very similar for all 1999-2008 (996 & 997.1) 911s, and equivalent generation Boxsters & Caymans. While surely not a perfect execution, it gives you a peak under the engine, so to speak. Parts list below:
