It's an annual tradition for me to watch this video, year after year
Perfect DIY Oil Service for the 993! Great tips!!
Another great video. Thanks for posting this episode. This will be super helpful!
Thanks so much James! :)
Just found your vid. Many thanks for a highly professional and informative video. More importantly it instils me with confidence. I shall be ordering my oil service kit tomorrow. Incidentally I love your 4S - great car. I have a stock Carrera 2 owned and loved for 19 years now. Great work and regards from the UK.
Thanks for tuning in!! Good luck with the oil change -- just remember, it gets less messy every time you do it..haha. Take care! :)
I’ve got a ‘96 and have done my own oil changes, but I still learn from others. Didn’t know the Mega Tip about raising the rear. Thanks!
Well done! I've done many DIY maintenance items/suspension/Cam Chain covers on my 95' with a 3.8. Your video absolutely helps us save myself and many 993 owners money, and increases the satisfaction of owning this amazing air-cooled 911!
Thanks so much Brian! Appreciate the comment! I think you hit the nail on the head. 3.8L!! SWEET, tell me more! Factory power kit? Those are some serious projects you did, congrats! As you know, it's a slippery slope! Next up clutch, engine drop! LOL. Helping (or nudging) 993 owners into the world of DIY is totally my goal Bolts are bolts and it's so interesting and satisfying to be familiar with the car on that level. It also gives you insight into the true condition of everything. I think tackling DIYs has put an equally large smile on my face over the last 6 years I've owned this car. I'm going to be posting a few more DIYs over the winter so definitely stay tuned! :)
911Percent. Of course! The 3.8 was built by a professional shop however. The PO, at 40k, decided he wanted 'more power' (I purchased it with 72k). The receipts I have-24k!! show he put in mahle pistons-I would be a little nervous rebuilding a motor as you need so many speciality tools to do this job correctly I think. But I've done enough work on cars and l methodically think through my projects that I would consider it. I did drop half the engine last year to replace some leaking cam covers, and a 70k big tune-up at the same time as it was easiest to do the plugs and wires then. I replaced most of the suspension bits as well, and Bilstein b6 and MO33's springs before Rennsport V the year before. Of course I spend over half the time cleaning, and organizing and labeling everything as I go so it always takes me longer. Ya the car pulls nicely. Handles sweet. The 3.8 is in a polar silver cab & sure wish it was a 4s like yours man! Probably one of the faster 993 cabs out there though!
Jacob, That was awesome. I'm at 6 quarts now and my 96 993 C4S is starting to act "full". Thought I'd take a break t confirm the amount of oil needed and came upon this fantastic video. Next up is to raise the rear of the car to get a few more quarts in. Keep up the good work, Brian
Thanks Brian! Glad it helped out! :)
solid video, thanks for the video, will have to try this
Good proper advice, service all of my cars and recently made the jump to the dream that is a 993 c4. Found this video really useful. Thanks.
Sweet! Glad to hear it will come in-handy later! :)
Great demo
This has been a real help thanks mate :D
Love your 993. Great quality video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!!! :)
Nice video as always, can't wait for the next one :)
Thanks so much!! :)
awesome video. I'm going to tackle my own now.
Your 4s looks in amazing condition. Well done
This is a great video and that generation of Porsche is my favorite
Nicely done, huge help!
Well done again! More videos like this are needed for new owners or folks that are shopping or just interested.
Cheers! Thanks for that! :)
Great Video! I think when People maintain their own 911 they deserve to drive these cars so much more!!
After watching this video Im looking forward to do my First Oil service on my 993 96 mod. After the snow has gone in Norway. ......Great video :-)
Awesome! That's great to hear! It's really not as hard as people say it is! Just take your time! Cheers! :)
Great video. I aspire to one day tackling this DIY! When I do, this video will be my step-by-step guide.
That's great Steven! It's relatively easy!! Thanks for watching!! :)
Great video! Best one yet - super informative - although I don't do any maintenance myself great to learn how it's all packed in together back there
Thanks so much for watching Ehsan B! These cars are built so incredibly well ~ I'm still amazed after 6 years of ownership and many, many DIYs! :)
Hi Jacob, thanks for the video! Super helpful!! Especially your tips!! Mega helpful!! I just got my 993 C4S, ordered fiste stage 3 (I really like to hear the pop corn popping sound ^^). Looking forward to follow your DYI video to do swapping the muffler myself next week. ^^
Thanks so much for watching! Congrats on the Fister Stage IIIs, you're going to love the new sound!! I made a swap video like 8 years ago on a different channel "Boman993"..you can follow the install procedure there. I think FDM even has it posted on their website as a DIY install. Again, congrats!! :)
Congrats.. excellent video. Very well detailed and very clean car you have.
Nice job.
Thank you so much for watching and the nice comment! Cheers!
Great video ,keep it going, great stuff.
Thanks so much Chris! Stay tuned for more!
Great video, very professional and detailed with the torque specs, etc. I did not know these "newer" 911s had two oil filters. It looks like a LOT of work compared to my old '74 911. Buying a scissor lift is tempting. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching and the comment!! Yeah, this oil change is
indeed overly complicated! I envy you older and newer 911 guys, with
your 15 minute jobs!!! :)
Super well done. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching Paul! Take care!
A very hepful video - thx Jacob!
Thanks for watching Charles!!! Cheers mate! :)
Fantastic video thanks for the tuition 👍
Ha, thanks for watching, happy to help! It's a pain but it gets faster and less messy with time :)
very good to watch and helpful cheers
At last a clear guide of how to 👍
Wow, your car is ridiculously clean underneath. I take my hat off to you!
Thanks for watching and noticing my OCD obsession haha. Cheers!! :)
Thx i know what to do now. Keep it going
Man the spec on that 993 is so perfect. I love the blue color contrasted with that tan interior. I am looking for a 993 C2 in that exact same spec but I can only afford about 50k for one right now. That is with financing of course
Love the car, alway's have. Great video w/great tips. Now I know to take mine to a dealer
Haha! Yeah, I don't blame you, it really is ridiculously over complicated! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome vid.
+Princess Peach THANKS! I hope it will help someone! :)
That was interesting. I had no idea an oil change on a Porsche was such an involved procedure. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Yeah, the 993 was pretty involved vs the older and newer 911s! ;)
In Hong Kong, I love to change engine oil myself! nice Video
Awesome! As complicated as it is, it's actually fun to do! Especially if you challenge yourself to do it faster and cleaner than the last! LOL! Thanks for watching Aston! :)
Ótimo vídeo, me salvou aqui.
Obrigado .
Hi Jacob, One of the absolute best oil change videos out there! Really fun to watch. The 993 is a little weird with those two filters. I think there is a filler neck that should extend to help with filling. I hear on most cars they have either been removed or fell in the tank. I got a replacement for our '95 so I'll install that with the next change. Also, you might want to try nut drivers on the clamps. They seem to go faster and less tendency to slip off. The Philips are nice. Most of my cars are just slotted so a pain. For me the 3.2 is up for an oil change. I'm going to try to close to your quality :) Thanks for the great video! Franny
Thanks for watching and the comment Franny! I wish there was an oil fill on the quarter panel to the tank. I had that goose neck inside the filler, but removed it ~ people say it disintegrates after time and falls in the tank :/
Good call about a socket on the clamps! DERP! LOL
Hey, just wanted to let you know I gave you a call out to this video in my latest 3.2 oil change video description. You are a total inspiration to me! Thanks again, Franny
what viscosity do you recommend I use in my '98 993 (non-turbo)? It's hot here in los angeles, CA. The dealer always puts 0W40 in it they told me. Thank you!
Great tip on using the cheap oil filter cap wrench and screws.
E91, 993 - You are doing it right.
I wish I kept that E91!! Still shopping for a replacement...it's been 5 months haha :)
Hey everyone! I'm Ryan Little! Super honored to have my music in this video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel here on UA-cam for more music and new releases.
Awesome tunes man, thanks so much and let me know if you're cool with the credits in the description! :)
Not bad at all. Thanks bro.
Great video! I've same problem with the oil level gauge on my 993 too, it's always low...
I think there is a mod that is circulating around Rennlist where you can bend a portion of the float in the oil tank to have the gauge read more accurately. But I would still check the dipstick physically ~ because that won't lie! Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for this. I own a 993 C2 and... she's due an oil change!
Sweet! Thanks for watching! Glad it will help! :)
Nice video, really shows the bits and pieces to remove/replace well.
My first DIY oil change was a few weeks ago and took 3 or 4 hours but will be MUCH quicker in the future. Refilling was a real pain - good tip on lowering the front end of the car - will have to try it. I did it with jackstands which was a little claustrophobic. How high do you lift the car with your scissor lift to comfortably work under it?
Awesome Bob, 3-4 hours is pretty sweet timing for the first one!! My first one was messy, and took all day lol... Glad to hear that the filling tip will help you in the future!! The scissor lift goes up to 52" max, but, my garage isn't fully set up yet and it's not standing in the right spot, so I'm limited to probably 40" max. Very comfy. Lift has many safety settings so adjustment to the right height for something specific is done in a flash. I dropped the engine and trans to do a clutch flywheel and major service a few summers ago, the lift was integral. :)
I don't even own I 993... Still got me glued to the screen
👍I wasn’t sure if that lifter would work on the 993 thinking about getting one
It is way more fun to remove the sump drain bolt on the side when the engine is hot, the oil comes flying out like a garden hose on full blast as if your Porsche suddenly had a bad case of diarrhea, also doing it while hot gets most of the old oil out. Just be sure to wear something to protect yourself from the hot oil flying out.
Good video. Can you provide the lifting points with your lift? thanks
Now I want to sell the G 3.2 and buy a 993, nice job Jacob!
Ha, do it!!! Or, better yet, add a 993 to the 3.2! Thanks for watching! :)
But the 3.2 oil change is SO quick and simple! :)
Great vid Jakob! Loved it. Best DIY vid I've seen on UA-cam!
Thanks man!!! :) I am so jealous of your 3.2 oil changes!! Quick and simple is an understatement! lol
vielen dank
Cool.
Thank you Lance!! :)
very informative video jacob. what's next.
Thanks so much! Next DIY will be installation of the FD Motorsports AWD transmission mount :)
HAHAHA the he-man part killed me LOL
LOL! Mission accomplished! Thanks for watching man!
Wow--I know have a greater appreciation for Japanese engineering (in its simplicity) and the Honda S2000. Great 993!
Thanks for watching!!! I must say, S2000s are in my top 10 list of
notable cars ever! I'm a big fan! Not sure I'd consider the additional
components of a cooling system on a S2K such as the waterpump, radiator,
hoses, coolant, thermostat, timing belt, etc "simple"! The reason for
the 2 filters is smart; filter 1 cleans oil from the tank before it
enters the engine, filter 2 filters the oil coming out of the engine
back to the oil tank. Pretty sweet engineering I'd say! Just a PITA to
DIY vs newer 911s ~ those take no time to change the oil! :)
Good points. Fortunately Honda put a timing chain on the s2000 since the beginning, although they still use timing belts on some of their newer cars with a V6 engine. You should look into picking one of those up while you can still find good examples. Subscribed for future videos on the 911. What editing software are you using?
Would it not have been prudent to take the DME relay out and bring it up to pressure / circulate the new oil by then turning over the engine?
I once had a stuck-on oil filter (it was torqued to spec 11 Nm / 97 lbf.in.) on my motorcycle and the only access is from the end with an oil filter socket...which simply slipped over the oil filter facets when trying to unscrew it. I no longer coat the oil filter seal with oil; instead I coat it with Dow Corning vacuum grease (silicone grease) and I haven't had a stuck-on oil filter issue since.
Great advice! Thanks! :)
Great video Jakob... I need a scissor lift!
Thanks so much David!! Definitely the best investment I"ve made into garage tools ~ highly recommended! :)
Is there a safety bar that you connect in case the seals fail while the car is lifted?
Yes, There is a safety bar with steel notches that travels up as the lift goes up ~ like a rollercoaster. It clicks each time it advances a "safety" tooth. Once you have the car up as high as you want, you lower it a little and it rests on the steel notch vs the hydraulics. When you're done you raise the car a few inches, pull on a safety cable to release the safety, and the lift lowers down.
Beautiful, I'm sold. I'm a bought a used 2006 Cayman S this spring and I love it. I'm looking forward to doing the maintenance and mods myself. Your videos are great, thanks!
Sweet car man! It's beautifully clean underneath. How do you do that? Pressure wash (hope not) or with some detergent? Another thing; why don't you just run it on the lift for a while before putting that ducting and the wheel arch back in. Then you can get close visually to look for leaks.
Thanks so much! No, not pressure washed! Just COUNTLESS hours of elbow grease my friend! LOL! I used a ZEP orange degreaser/cleaner to agitate the cosmoline and after that it was a lot of cleaning by hand. I had the engine and transmission out for a clutch and major service 2 summers ago and spent weeks obsessively cleaning everything. Having the lump out of the engine bay and on a dolly made it "easier" to get it as pristine as it is.. There is also a dry-ice blasting method that works really well without any chances to damage. There might be a service like that close to you! Google it; amazing results at a fraction of the time if you were to do it by hand... Hope this helps! About starting the car on the lift ~ Good idea but I don't want exhaust fumes in the garage (my garage is attached to the house). Thanks for watching! :)
Great job on the 993 O/C doco, Dude! The torque title gfx are well done. Nice plug on the "most useless gauge" in our 993's ;) Makes me want to steam clean my 4S undercarriage again...and I see you have some of Darin's finest parts... enjoy! BTW - what are you shooting your footage with?
Cheers, -M@
Hey, thanks so much!! Once you start cleaning that engine it becomes a sickness and a never-ending affair LMAO! I shoot a lot with a DJI OSMO, especially for this video, however, I do not recommend this camera, it's got a lot of kinks that need to be worked out both in the design, but also software! Lot of my parts come from Darin! FDM is the best in the biz!!! :)
Hi Jacob, still referencing your video whenever I do an oil change on my 993. Here's to us meet one day! I am going to the Porsche Palooza every year. Hit me up if you want to join, as we could tag along most of the way together (live in Michigan).
I know this is an older video so I'm hoping you'll still respond. Do you put the plastic transmission cover back on or just leave it off permanently? TIA
I know it’s been a while for this video, but what scissor lift is that?
How about instructions on how to remove the engine protection tray on the bottom of the car?
What is the best oil used for the 993 ?
The guage reads perfectly but just till the last quarter, so mainly when the gage drops, means you have to add quarter oil to the car, it is the same in both 964 and 993 I own, very good clip tho, is it 15w 50 you use?
Thanks for watching! My gauges have never accurately displayed the level, so I rely on physical evidence and read the dip stick on level ground instead. I use 20/50 oil with 1100+ ppm ZDDP levels.
Very cumbersome, but doable. Specially since old 911 only need spark plugs and regular oil changes to keep running forever.
Agreed, it's not that bad. Once you do this once, it's quite easy and you just end up doing it faster and faster. My biggest goal is to always be cleaner than the last oil change. Thank you for watching! :)
so what you're saying is... don't take it to jiffy lube?
Haha, dude, there is a guy on Rennlist that takes his 993 in to Walmart to change the oil.....LMAO...
what instrument rings are you using on your dashboard? they are very nice and not as bold as most of the others. (at minute 8:45 ) greetings from Germany
Hi! These are called Chris Walrod Gauge Rings. Not sure if these are available anymore, but they are essentially perfectly machined aluminum rings that tightly fit over the plastic rings. If you google them you should be able to find the Rennlist threads where they were available as group buys. Good luck!! Hope this helps!
thank you , hope I Will find them
You're welcome! I'm sure you'll run into a set! :)
I could be wrong (I often am) but shouldn't you remove the oil filter with the drain bolt out? To allow air back in to the top of the system and to get all of the oil out.
Smart thinking! I've done it both ways and did not notice any more or less oil coming out though. Both the drain plug and filter are at the most bottom part of the oil tank, so in theory, unscrewing the filler cap in the engine bay would do what you're saying with sucking air in from the top. Thanks for watching and commenting Duncan!! Cheers my friend! :)
+911Percent makes total sense. Right you are. Love your car and your channel. Keep up the excellent work my friend! 👍🏻👏🏻
Have you done the bushings in the control arms or the
I have, I replaced them with Chris Walrod poly urethane bushings. I've also pinned the tie-rods GT2/RSR style. :)
My '96 C2 has no oil drain opening in rocker panel plastic shield. This is strange, if it was not for his video, I'd be looking for oil tank forever. Thank you.
Glad to help! It's weird that the narrow body cars don't have it! I'm sure Porsche had a reason. I have to check it out next time I'm around one :)
Hi, a gallon question makes your drain pan, and where to find the merchand to find the merchand site.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Helmut
Hi, the drain pan is a 15L generic plastic pan - I bought it from my local automotive part store. Here is a link: www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/plastic-oil-drain-pan-15-l-0283113p.html . I hope this helps (and google translates sanely lol)
Hi, I thank you for your responsiness of your answer do not exist to do other merchanical part (Change: candle or alternator belges, etc.).
You are very pedagogue in your explanations and a wealth of information step a step makes the mechanical part simple.
So when the rest of the mechanical Porsche 993 Séries?
have you had your engine cryo cleaned ? looks spotless under there
Thanks!! I have not had it cryo cleaned, though, I really want to look into this one day! I've had the engine out a few summers ago to do a clutch + flywheel and spent an obscene amount of time cleaning while I was in there lol
changing oil process still the same for the 993 C2S right?
+DAVID SWIEBODA yes, the same 100%!
Is that conventional oil that you're pouring in? LOL..... I run Motul 5W40 full synthetic OR mobile 1 full synthethic (20W50/15W50 Blend the two) depending on my mood. I drive my 993 C4 Cab 5K miles a year.
Do you pre-fill the engine oil filter?
I do not. It's not written in the factory manual to do so.
you can starve your engine for startup if you like
Not if you turn it over without the DME relay to build up pressure before firing. Again, this is not written in the factory manual.
Eeek. I've only owned mine for 8 months and I haven't had to service it yet. Might take it to a professional!
Do it! Proper maintenance is key! Thanks for watching! :)
Hello good video, but you don't need to remove the oil return tube under the small oil filter to get the small oil filter out. I have changed the filter on mine and I have never had to remove the oil return tube.
Once you have taken off the heater pipes as you show the small oil filter will come out OK.
It just saves a bit of time and mess.
Hello, thank you! I like removing as much of the old oil out of the system as I can, and the oil line has a bunch in there. It's true, you could force your hand in there and pull out the old filter without undoing the feed line. But I find it more messy, because it doesn't drop out easily without a bit of oil spilling out.. I am in no way suggesting that my process is the right/only way to do it ~ This is the way I do it on my car. :)
Hello buddy, absolutely, I was just pointing out that you don't HAVE to take the tube off if you don't want to. I enjoy watching your videos, thanks..
What scissor lift do you have?
Hi, it's a DirectLift Midrise 6MR-PRO.
www.directlift.com/Mid-Rise-Lift-Pro-6MR-P46C11.aspx
Thanks! Will it not fit underneath without the wooden blocks? Looks like a sweet setup.
No worries! Yeah, my car is sitting at 993RS +5mm height, so it doesn't clear the lift without the ramps I built. My plan for the future is to sink it into the concrete garage floor so it disappears out of the way. But it works this way for now. It's a great setup for general DIY. Another cool thing is, the DirectLift clears an engine and transmission drop on the awd 993 without any mods to the lift. Both the BendPak and SnapOn scissor lifts need to have the rear crossbraces chopped for clearance - too dangerously sketchy for me!!
So the jack points line up correctly? I'm about to do the oil on my 993 C4S. Couldn't have been a better time to stumble upon your video. Perfect! I'm looking for a lift first. Want to make sure the points line up right.
You didn’t replace the o ring on the tank drain plug, or the oil line to the case. Purchase the proper tool to remove those oil filters. They are only supposed to be 20 newton meters tight. We use 15w50 on these cars
Doesn't your car deserve a better oil than castrol?? so sad
20w50 not good for this engine 👎
