Yes you can...It's sorta low to the ground so the lift really helps😁. Holding a counter wrench on the reservoir drain is key. You could do a lot of damage there. Thanks for watching. Also interested what year your working on and if the turbos have the separate small drain plugs?
You're very welcome. I've had a lot fun working on the 911. The engineering is unbelievable. Real shop manuals are hard to find as well. Be careful when you change the front differential/transfer unit gear oil...It's actually two separate chambers with different gear oil in each one. The differential clutch requires 75w-80 that (best I could tell) is only sold by Porsche at $50+ per liter.😯😯😯. Thanks for watching.
@DrShankopotamus. Great video! Very helpful! I have a question. I'm trying to restore a water logged 2009 Porsche 911 Turbo just like yours. When I put the new oil in, it comes out crystal clear out of the reservoir but I get chocolate milk out of the crank case. Do you know of a way to directly put oil in so I can keep flushing the water out? I cannot turn the car on for reference. Thanks!
Excellent service videos. Good photography, and dialogue. Thanks so much!
Great video, thank you!
Thanks for doing this. Gives me the confidence to do it myself.

A very well done instructional video. Thank you very much!

It is only one bolt to remove the hard line fitting to the turbo oil supply some videos show removal.
One bolt and a small fitting holding the hard line in place. I'm pretty sure you should remove that and drain that oil, too.
You did not show what kind of oil you used.
