Oil change for Porsche 911 (992 model)

The other day, my husband was alreadyOil and filter change at dealer for 911 Cabriolet (992 model)The first time we did this, the car was delivered to us. Although it had only been a little over a month since the car was delivered, my husband had finished breaking it in early by using it to commute to work and going on medium-distance touring trips.

becauseUpcoming Porsche driving school (Porsche Track Experience) at Fuji Speedway.He had made plans to do so and wanted to finish breaking in and maintaining the car before he did so.

The mileage at that point was 2,400 km. My husband was

separatelyThere is no need (from the manufacturer's point of view) to change the oil or filter just because the warm-up operation is over.But since I would be participating in a Porsche driving school and driving on the circuit, I thought it would be safer and more comfortable to have it cleaned up here.

He said.

I had thought that an oil change or oil filter change on a Porsche would be a complete process that would require an hour and a half wait at the store, based on my previous experience, but apparently this is not the case with the 992 model.

Not only do I have to change the oil, but I have to change the oil filter as well.The oil filter seems to be designed to be accessed by removing the coolant cover, and cannot be changed until the coolant cools down.That's right.

Therefore, when changing the filter at 992, we had to wait several hours for it to cool down, so we had to go home and come back later to pick it up.

The whole family went to the Porsche Center.

After the oil change, I had to drop my husband off at the dealership on a weekday evening when there were few customers, but since the children were still small, inevitably the whole family had to go (laughs).

And then I thought about it.My oldest son is making his Porsche Center debut on this day.I realized that "I'm going to be there," and decided to go in formal wear, that is, a Porsche baby romper, since I was going to be there.

My first son was just born in August, but thanks to his good growth, he is already "about six months old? He is already a huge child.Porsche's rompers are also for three to six months, size-wise.When I put it on, it was already a perfect fit.

Someday when my oldest son is older, I'd like to show him, "Here's a picture of my first visit to the Porsche Center," but I'm sure it won't matter to him at all when I say that.

And this is how much and what the oil change and filter change on the 911 Cabriolet (992) looked like.

Engine oil change (Mobil 1 ESP X3 0W-40 8L)
Oil filter change
Oil filter insert
Sealink ring
Total: 54,665 yen

Just before that, the legal 12-month inspection of my Nissan Note e-POWER NISMO S was a little over 10,000 yen (although it is included in the maintenance pack), so when I think about it, oil changes for Porsche are expensive...

Is it because of the high cost of oil and the fact that it holds 8 liters of oil? Well, the Panamera was expensive too.

Second oil change after delivery of Porsche Panamera - cost was 40,818 yen

By the way, my husband was about to change the oil in his 992.

In the past, many cars had a definite change in feeling after an oil change, but these days I can't tell any difference in feeling at all. The engine is always smooth.
I'm looking forward to finally being able to test the true performance of the 992, now that I can rev it to higher RPMs.

He said. I see!

After this, my husband attended a Porsche driving school (Porsche Track Experience) with his 992, and I will have him write a follow-up article about his impressions.
