Doing My First oil change.
 

Going to do my first oil change on my 05 Cayenne S.

Any tips? Special tools?

Oh and how long from start to finish.

Thanks Tim.

Got to do mine soon too. Do you have any pictures of the drain plugs location wise?

Cheers Bob

I meant to take photos and journal the event, but it turned into a rush job, the car was packed and had to leave the house at 5am!.

Few tips though:
1. When taking off the filter loosen then slip a big zip lock bag over it then remove. The oil gushes out, so the bag catches all.
Slip the filter onto the exposed tube then screw the filter housing onto the threads.

Removing and reinstalling the two bottom plastic plates took most of the time.
I did some cleaning while under there.
So the whole job took me 2 hours!
Good luck Bob!

Thanks island, hey my ashtray is stuck too. It's a coin holder though :). Hw do you get the silver faceplate off around the cluster?

Thanks

silver faceplate: I've never had mine off, so I don't know. (I'm guessing that it's press in straight / pulls out straight ...d/k)

What size is the torx!?!

I put in a 50 it felt a little loose, one turn and i stripped the nut DAMIt!

Let me know the size if it's 50 the dealer put it in way too tight

Cheers Bob

I took pict's last oil change...

Notes

Undo rear-screws before dropping front of rear cover.

WHAT!!

So it's not a Torx?!

DAMIT - My fault, I thought I read Torx somewhere no wonder it didn't work. I have an 8mm Allen key

Looks like I'll try again

Thanks

Well mine is not Torx. ...but yeah, you might want to check that. ;)
