Carrera T to change oil

Just a little over two months after taking delivery of the Carrera T,Finally, the mileage reached 2900km and the breaking-in period was completed.So, I had the oil and filter changed at the dealer before the Bon Festival in August.

My husband gave me a preliminary

I had the filter changed along with the oil change. It is not necessary to change the filter every time, but it is a good idea to change the filter after the break-in period.

Was said to be.

I just forgot about it and asked Mr. H., who was in charge of the project, if he could help me.Oil change, etc., please.When I made an appointment, I was told that it would take an hour and a half to complete the work.

Thereupon, "theI had a safe oil change appointment.I told my husband that "the

Did you ask them to change the filter for the 992, it should take more than a day to change the filter?

And.

Yes, this was the case when we changed the filter on our 992 Cabriolet before.

The 992's oil filter should be changed,It seems to be designed to access the oil filter by removing the coolant cover, so it can't be changed until that coolant cools down.That's right.

I contacted Mr. H in a panic,After all, it was a full day's work to change the filter.So, I had to leave my Carrera T at the dealer for a day.

I read the specifications of the 911 and asked the dealer about changing the oil after breaking in the car, and there is no need to do so (it should be changed after 10,000 km), but I thought it would be better to change the oil at this time, so I asked the dealer to do so.

By the way, the cost of this project was included in the contract.Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan (PSMP)(I would have paid for just an oil change, but I also changed the filter), so I was able to get it done for free.

We have not changed the transmission oil or differential oil. (My husband said it's okay to change them every few years when they are serviced.)

In fact, after this oil change, Mr. H, the dealer representative, drove the Carrera T to my house,

No, this is so good. It's nimble, the MT is easy to operate, it's fast, and the handling is very small and pleasant...If we had this available for test drives, people would want it!

I was very happy to hear him say that (laughs).

Carrera T, the best!

Carrera T after break-in, oil change and filter...after the oil change, the car seemed to be even more nimble...but...maybe it's just my imagination (laugh).

And then...The Carrera T is, to put it mildly, the best.

say the leastNimbleness, handling, engine sound.is good.

The lightweight Carrera T is very light and nimble, while still having the rigidity of the 992. It is easy to drive and has no heaviness at all. In addition, there is almost no turbo lag, so there is no discomfort when starting and accelerating, and it feels great.

For handling,The optional rear axle steering may have been a big factor.but it turns like crazy, not to say GT3.

Still going, still going, how far to turn! They turn about as far as they can (laughs).

That's why I tend to drive seriously... When I drive a 981 Boxster GTS, I drive with a smirk on my face because of the pleasant sound of the engine, but when it comes to the Carrera T, I just drive with a straight face, silently, and without talking.

The engine sound has also become much louder (GPF does not seem to be in the 992 at present), and the sound after 4000 rpm is also very pleasant, with a deeper, clearer sound.

Yesterday I drove the Ashiu Driveway for the first time in a while and it was really nice.

It's just... so far, it's been "I'm going to finish breaking in the car as soon as possible! First of all, I have to drive 3000km!I had a goal of "to be the best in the world," so I rode quite a bit, but from now on, I don't know what my goal should be... I feel a bit discouraged.

When I told my husband about it.

No, so...don't think about goals or anything serious like that, just have fun. Just have fun on all kinds of roads. You don't have to think so hard.

I have been a work-work-work person for as long as I have been in the workforce, so it has become quite difficult for me to genuinely enjoy myself (am I OK?).

So, as I mentioned briefly before, I will be practicing the Fuji Speedway course in a simulation game at home with a view to making my circuit debut with the Carrera T. I hope to find some new goals for myself in the future (seriously, wow). I hope to find a new goal for myself (seriously?).

    Hello. - Hello.

    I see that the break-in period is over.
    Congratulations!
    It makes driving more fun.

    Our Carrera T went to PEC yesterday and finally reached 480 km.
    There is no clear change from the time of delivery, probably because of the low mileage.
    The dealer told me that I don't have to break in the car until 3000 km.

    We are also on a maintenance plan, but only at the one-year inspection or at the specified mileage.
    They say it is not applicable.

    And for the right-hand drive MT, the clutch pedal is offset to the left, which was not the case with the 718GT4.
    The system requires familiarity because it has been

      Thank you!
      Oh Carrera T to PEC!

      I imagine that it will probably change in many ways as it is run from now on.
      I'm really looking forward to that change ^^^.

      Thank you for your continued support!

    I always enjoy looking at your site.

    The feeling that we have achieved our goal, exactly.

    The desire to turn the engine was satisfied after reaching 3000km, and the engine was already reaching the legal speed in 3rd gear when I tried to turn it up to just before red.

    Power is more than enough for the 385 that can handle it, and constant pulling does not seem to be the goal, even more so in mountainous areas.

    So now I'm practicing clutch high RPM meat at the start.

    It is like cruising fully in second gear, upshifting, and enjoying the auto-gripping when decelerating.

    But it's a little different from my clear goal to finish breaking in. I feel that I may have no choice but to go to the circuit.

    Please write an article if you discover any good goals. I would like to refer to it. We are waiting for it.

      Mr. Black Porsche 992T

      Thank you for everything!
      >The feeling that we have achieved our goal, exactly.

      Wow thank you!

      Now that I no longer have such a clear goal of buying a Porsche or completing the break-in period,
      I ride with the feeling of "Oh, what am I riding it for, but it's fun, so why not...?

      It is better to have a goal and be enthusiastic toward it,
      It burns and makes it even more fun.

      And it instantly feels like a serious goal,
      I wonder if there isn't something more to do in my day-to-day life - I'm worried about it,
      I'll think about it again and if I find it, I'll write an article about it.

    Hello.
    Yesterday, my Cayenne S Coupe was finally delivered after 7 months of ordering, and I am in the process of breaking it in lol.

    When I first drove it, I was like...? Oh, the Cayenne is a luxury car after all, and the V8 is quiet too...compared to the Cayman GTS and Macan S, which I have owned, I was like, well, yeah....

    However, after driving 500 kilometers in two days, I was surprised to see that it already feels like a completely different car.

    I wonder if this will change again with 1000, 1500, and so on...it's fun lol.

    I look forward to reading your blog in the future.

      Hello, Caiman23.

      Porsche's suspension, engine, and sound will really change as the mileage goes up and up,
      We hope you will enjoy the pleasure as well.

      Please keep up the good work on your blog!
