Porsche 356A Oil Change!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Hi Everyone, Today we do the Spring oil change in our 1958 Porsche 356 A T2 Cabriolet! Pretty straight forward process really. I do two oil changes a year with a filter change once a year. If you have any questions/comments, please leave them below.
The parts used are:
• Oil Filter OX79
• Case drain plug: 539.01.133
You’ll need:
• 19mm Wrench
• 22mm Wrench
• Drain Pans
• ~5 Qts of oil. (I used Valvoline 20W50 Racing)
The required tools scene only shows a 19mm wrench (for the drain plug), but you’ll also need a 22mm wrench (or socket) for the oil filter canister hat bolt.
We hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, please give it a “Thumbs up” and Subscribe to Heidi and Franny’s Garage for more videos to come. Also, click the little “Bell” by the Subscribe button to get notified when we release new videos - usually Saturday mornings.

Boy, does that bring back memories, so much simpler than the modern cars.
+Tommy Estridge quite amazing how much they have changed.
Instead of using a turkey baster for removing the old oil from the oil filter canister, I've found aftermarket pumps that fit into quart bottles to work much better. Just place a jar beside the canister and pump into it. Less messy and it gets more out. You can find these pumps at any auto parts store for about $5. If you need extra reach, you can attach a tube to either end, suction or discharge.
I had to do a lot of research in the forums about what oil (viscosity and brands) to use in my 65 C. Freeze framed Heidi's most excellent camera work and saw the viscosity...yes! (Of course I read all the comments after watching and there it was....20w50!
Many thanks again for simple, direct and well edited videos...(and if your kitchen is as clean as your cars I'd eat turkey with y'all anytime.)
:) Yea! I will add that to the description. My bad. Sorry about that. Yup, Valvoline 20W50 Racing. I believe it has a bit of added Zinc as well. Thanks for pointing that out! Have fun in you C car! Franny
The quality of the recording as well as your editing is improving a lot by each of your new episodes, congrats! You take a lot more care with oil in your 356 than most people with their salad dressings!
Thanks! I've been working hard to make them easier to watch and, hopefully, informative and useful. f
You make an oil change look fascinating. Precision surgery. Car whisperer. I have little interest in Porsches, but I just can't stop watching Nick's channel, and now yours.
softroll Thanks so much! Nick's channel is really fun, huh... Franny
Thanks for the video! I just inherited this car from my grandfather. He taught me the basics before he passed but it was really only where components were and how to fill / check the oil and fuses. This helped me so much! Thanks!
Excellent video! I have a couple of suggestions from my 57 years of changing oil on all makes and styles of oil sumps and filters.
Regarding the drain plug, how about taking your torque wrench and see what the actual torque you have been using all along? Seeing that really long wrench really scares me - it looks like an opportunity for Murphy's Law.
Instead of a turkey baster, I've been using a soft soap dispenser pump from a bottle to just stick into whatever fluid is in a tight area (power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission shifter turret on a Miata, etc.) and just pump the liquid out. I have several of these, all labeled and stored in different empty coffee cans (repurposed plastic cans) for regular use.
I love the fact that you don't overtighten anything! Keep the videos coming!
Excellent!
Would be nice with a back story video, how you got into cars , how you learned to service them, your first sports car etc .
We should totally do that! We'll put that on the list! Thanks! Franny
+ExpatMoe lol. Franny should tell those stories. She initially decided to take apart the Honda Passport C70 (you can see it in our garage still) in college in her living room. Yes, our goal is to give some background about us and our relationship to cars and how we got into them. It's in the plan. Thanks for the feedback. Heidi
Looking Forward To It!
I'm new here. I nearly skipped this. I'm really glad I didn't. A very thorough and tip-packed video. Great attention to detail/production/lighting. The rest of UA-cam could learn a lot. I know I did. Admirable. Oh, great cars too. Thanks for all the time and effort lavished.
Yea! Glad you liked it! Yeah, proper lighting is so important as is good sound and both can be a struggle sometimes. I've done these jobs a bunch, but then having to explain it step by step is another thing altogether :) Thanks! Franny
Yet another cracking video, well lit, right amount of info, fascinating to watch, thank you 😊 . . . . . Oil in the pan this time wahooooo xx
+steffydog1 totally!
Good camera angles. Thanks for making the effort.
+Willy Willy yea, and thanks for making the effort to watch. Franny
FRANNY THE VISOR QUEEN I love them.
Awesome video. Love the look of classic Porsche's just as much as the modern models. Thanks!
EthanNoble You bet! Me too. More to come. I need to do an electrical tune up . Franny
Love the way you explain everything first... I learned more than a few things. THanks.
Yea! Good to hear. That's helpful :) Franny
Thank you Franny.
I learn a lot by watching your videos.
You are very good.
E B
Thanks EB!
Love your 356, perfect colour cream with red and sounds just right, many thanks for sharing 👍
+ThePhilandPam thanks. It's always been that color. Franny keeps that car running well. Heidi
love these videos, thank you.
+SSoHPKCSON your welcome!
Nice clean engine bay! I like how ya'll did the close up overhead cam shot.
Thanks! I'm not a big fan of a dirty engine bay ;) That one is so small it is east to keep clean :) Thanks for watching :) f
Great videos! I have a '58 VW beetle with Porsche 356B brakes and an engine with a Fram filter. Now I know how to service them both properly. Thank you!
BigEstudios You bet! I had several beetles. Love those things!
Really enjoy your videos. My dad is a old VW nut. He owns a 1970 VW Beetle and a 1974 Porsche 914 2.0. Something about them air-cooled engines.
+Nick Hoyle Franny and I both love air cooled cars. Thanks for the comment. Heidi
+Nick Hoyle yes. Franny and I both grew up with air cooled VWs. We do love air cooled!
Thank you so much! My go to channel from now!
Love it. Clear, straight and well shot. Thank you!
yomi matsuoka Thanks!
Enjoyed the video...great camera work.....easy to see what you are doing!
Steven Groddy great. We will try to bring you many more. Thanks!
Excellent video! Hello from England!
+Seb Pedley I see you like motorcycles. We should have a few motorcycle maintenance (well scooter) coming this summer. Heidi
Hello Franny and Heidi...commented recently on the turkey baster. Recently added a perfect 20 year old SL500 to my garage..surprise, surprise it has virtually the same oil filter set up as our 356's. A turkey baster won't work on this one so researched and found an oil suction gun (OTC 2359. ) Google it...available most places for less than $20...works flawlessly...no mess...what's not to love? PS...checked out your 356 fuel pump video just now...two thumbs up!
+Camp Walosi that's awesome! Congrats on the new addition. I am sure you will be a great parent!
Thank you for making amazing videos!
Really well explained.
Another fantastic video!
RocketJohn Thanks John!
Love your work! Well done!
Thanks Scary Bear! :)
Great teacher I wish that my car was a356 so that I could work on it. AT 69 years old I got my baby 911/991 Porsche . tky
Vincent Parascandolo Hard to even see the engine in a 991 ;) I believe the vast amount of service is done from underneath... Maybe you could fine a solid 914? That would keep you busy in the garage... Thanks so much! Franny
Another quality video. I might skip the turkey next Thanksgiving though.Lol.
+retrokiwi awww. It adds a smokey, nutty taste! Franny
Great video's ! Love the car's !
+jam 68 cool! Thanks.
Nice car
+Clenio Fonseca thank you!
Heidi and Franny's Garage I really liked your videos. I live in Brazil and I really like cars like that. I have a 1977 VW and I myself have restored it only by watching videos on UA-cam.
Clenio Fonseca that’s pretty incredible that you restore just from videos. Wow. Heidi
Does this older engine require a higher % of ZDDP in the motor oil?
Excellent video! I just suscribe to your channel. I need to check oil level in 1956 356A Coupe. Thanks.
Great video ,well done !what kind of oil do you use ?5w30 or 10w30?
We live in Colorado and we use VR1 20W-50 racing oil by Valvoline. It can be easily found and we always keep a quart in our car. We also keep our garage heated and that helps in winter months.
@@HeidiandFranny you are perfection !iam from greece and i like your mechanic moves and choices!thank you very much for everything!here in greece we use 10w30 by the way!
It’s no possible in French ? It will. Be SUPER .
If you want it translated, you can request it from UA-cam.
German vehicle gets an oil change every 10,000 miles. or 2 years. So changing the magnet thing every 3k is a nogo. Every 30k maybe. If you change your oil before 7k miles in a german vehicle, your wasting your money, 7k miles if you run it hard. 10k under normal conditions. Porsche 911's are 20k or every 2 years.
Is this similar to the process for a 356C 75hp engine from @1964? Thank you!
Yes. Should be the same.
Hi, I didn't see the dipstick oil level. There are two marks on the dipstick. What are your reccomendations for the oil level mark. Exactly on the lower mark, halfway between the two, or the top mark? Thank you.
Hi Josh, I like to shoot for the upper mark. They will use oil and I think that gives a nice safety margin.
@@HeidiandFranny Thank you. Also if you don't mind, what sort of oil would you suggest using in my 1957 356A T1? I've heard two sugggestions but wanted to know what you use. 55,000 miles. Thank you so much.
Love your vids, but please please please keep that pony tail away from the fan belt of a running engine. That could get nasty! Also, could you recommend a reliable shop in your area to do a 993 PPI for me? I'm new to the area. Thanks!!
+Steve Kopald I will feel more comfortable giving you some resources for those questions. First of all, please join the Facebook forum for Rennlist for 993s and ask your PPI question there. If you have an email I can give your some other resources depending on where you live. PM me or leave your email. Thanks. Heidi
I see "1600" on this lovely porsche and just wanted to ask could this at all be relative to a 1600 Vw?...I'm a little new to this and need to change the oil on my 72 super beetle. People tell me amsoil 10w-30, Valvoline 20w-50, any recommendations? Great video by the way, love these clear and easy to follow instructional videos.
Thanks so much! I'm a fan of the Valvoline 20W-50. It has extra zinc and you can get it anywhere :) Oh, I just uploaded a complete VW service video. It is super long, but should help: ua-cam.com/video/RJyypWxF3f4/v-deo.html
The Porchie and VW are cousins. Kind of like the country mouse and the city mouse ;) I did a Compare between the two in this video: ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=kqp113I4a88 if that helps... They are close, but there are several key differences. They are both great, just designed for different uses. It is a testament to the flexibility of the platform and the design talent of their common granfather :) Franny
How often do you recommend an oil change based upon a 40 minute drive once every week or two?Assume 750 miles per year.Thanks,Big foot in Dallas
Annually at a minimum. Use Dino oil.
Franny: What kind of oil are you using and how often do you change it?
Oh, now that can cause a fuss!! I use Valvoline 20W50 Racing. Brad Pen is very popular too. I try to use an oil with a good viscosity, high Zinc and something I can hopefully find on the road if I need to top off on a trip. I change the oil twice a year, but the filter once a year. We do drive the car a good bit averaging close to 4K miles a year. I shoot for every 2K miles. Franny
Hi Franny, my 1963 S appears to be missing that metal filter spacer stand at 6:30. Would you happen to know the part# for it?
Hi Geers, Do you have the same Orange filter housing or is it the silver F-Filter housing? I'll have to check with some friends to see if they also have that spacer. Franny
Heidi and Franny's Garage Hi Franny, it's the non-orange silver one. Thanks for any info you may find. Not too worried about it...
They leak less. Lol. If there's no oil under a Porsche engine, there's no oil inside THE engine. The same for beetles and British cars
I think I am going to skip your Thanksgiving dinner this year...
Awww, Really? How about if I clean it out with some brake cleaner? That should get all oil out ;) f
:-D
