Oil Change 996 oil filler tube tip

Figure 5. The oil fill tube on a 996-1 is held in a clip and can be elevated to facilitate oil refill. The clip is adjacent to the tech's ring finger in figure 6. Really makes oil filling easier!

Yes indeed! I always like to get the filler out of that clip. We appreciate your feedback.

Good tip. Be careful handling the oil fill goose-neck tho.
They get fragile and the accordion section will split.
Mine did and I had to replace it. As time goes by, the plastic parts in the engine compartment
want to crack.
I use the clear silicone aerosol spray on all the rubber and plastic components.
Been doing it for decades and it helps save the elasticity of the parts.

Actually mine was split when I bought the 996.
Not hard to replace.
