Is it hard to do an oil change on 944 porsche!? ASAP! PLEASE!?
hey, im planning to do an oil change i know how to do them,
but is it the same as any other car, the drain hole you can see, and not get mixed up with other bolts?
and someone told me porsche are very akward, because sometimes you need the %26quot;porsche Tools%26quot; i unno .. please helpIs it hard to do an oil change on 944 porsche!? ASAP! PLEASE!?It is not difficult. When you get a filter for the car just make sure you buy a tool that will attach to the end of the filter. They will fit on a 1/2%26quot; drive, they can be bought at any parts store. Makes it 20x easier to get the filter off and on. It is, however, recommended to go with a very good quality filter. Go Porsche OEM or Napa Gold for the filter, don't skimp.
The drain plug is on the bottom of the oil pan. It's a standard metric size. There are Porsche specific tools to do certain things on these cars, but the oil change is just as simple as any other car.
Keep in mind you'll likely have to take the aero pan off the bottom of the car to gain access to everything else underneath if yours still has it on there. It's all in the clarks-garage tutorial I'm linking below.
I'll link you below to a helpful link to get the job done.Is it hard to do an oil change on 944 porsche!? ASAP! PLEASE!?They are different than most cars. The only tool i know is special is to take off the tire.

If it says service required then it is something that should be reset after the service is performed. But a service engine light is usually an emmisions problem from as little as a loose gas cap to an oxygen sensor. There is a big difference between service required and service engine.

Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?
I got a 1996 Toyota Corolla with around 109,500 miles on it. Ive been good with maintenance with the vehical. My question is, $50 for a synthetic oil change is a little too pricey. Do I really need to change my oil every 3,000 miles / 3 months or can I go longer because I use synthetic?
I service at Jiffy Lube, they are great there.
I also want to learn how to do my own oil change sometime too...Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?you should go by the manufactures recommendations that makes the oil. you will get different answers from different people about how far to go in between oil changes, but from personal experience changing the oil ever 3000 miles has always done me and my family very good, for example my brother has a 99 f150 5.4 that has over 250,000 miles on it and changes the oil every 3000 and hasn't had to do anything to it besides maintenance work to it, anyhow for you question i believe it is that synthetic oil is more forgiving if you go over manufactures recommendations, and im not sure of what kind of oil they use at jiffy lube but valvoline makes an oil that is called max life and it is for vehicles with over 75,000 miles on it, its a synthetic blend and has special friction modifiers and seal conditioners in it for high mileage engines, so if the $50 is to much i know that the max life is a little bit cheaper or see if the oil that they use has a oil for higher mileage engines or what not I hope this helps good luck!!

I think you should go with the synthetic and get a change whenever jiffy lube recommends or what the bottle suggests. But seriously go with the synthetic. Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?I use full synthetic on my 05 durango (hemi uses 7 qts). It gets changed every 5000- 7500 miles. This advice came from the dealer I bought it from, after I had the same concern $80 for an oil change.Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?with full synthetic oil you can prolong the interval of your oil change to 5000-7500 miles.just remember to change the oil and keep up with preventative maintenance.Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?You can go longer with synthetic oil, 5,000 miles. It also resists the heat produced by the engine better than conventional oil. But whatever you do... stay with it. DO NOT MIX synthetic with conv. oil.
