Nice video, thanks and helpful. I have a 2013 GTS with the 4.8 v8 in it so I was looking for stuff like this to understand what all had to be done to get to the filter and such. Very clear. Thanks again.
Hi Dan, you forgot the second oil drain plug. It's located litle more backwards and upwards to the drain plug you showed in your video. If you don't drain the oil from this plug it will remain about 1 litre of old oil in your engine. I can send you a picture if you want... let me know. By the way... Cool DIY-channel ;-) greetz
I know! I have been meaning to update the video for sometime now but it keeps getting moved to the back of the line. I have added a note about the second drain bolt. Thanks!
No problem Ferri! Thanks for the kind words. If you still have a picture of the oil pan, send it to me and I will add it to the video for further clarification. :)
+James Weimer Thanks James! My wife often tells me I'm the best person to buy a used car from because of my "money is no object" approach to servicing them. I think that's her way of saying I spend too much... ;)
Good video. The first time I changed the oil I ended up draining the front differential by mistake lol. It worked out good since I needed to do it anyway - though it's a pain to fill it back up.
+Jerry Moore Thanks! I'm still learning this whole video editing thing. Yea, I could see how easy that would be to do. At least you got that service out of the way! :)
Good video, but I'd want to lock the air suspension into position by holding the air level switch forwards for 10 seconds, as having a Cayenne on my face would ruin my day.
thanks Dan very good Video, Just buy me a Cayenne turbo 2005 yesterday and searching around on youtube fore tipnow I now how to change Oil , thanks from micke sweden
+mikael stigberg No problem and enjoy the Cayenne Turbo you're going to love it! I should have my latest video up in a few weeks on how to change out a water pump on a Cayenne.
Hi Dan, have you happen to make a video of valve cover gaskets replacement? Im mechanically inclined but, just wondering if you had some do's and dont's. Nice vids man thanks
Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I don't as I already did my valve covers gaskets before I started this youtube channel. If you follow my how to change the spark plugs and coils in a Cayenne video, that will get you half way there. After you remove both air pump mounting plates on the back side of the cylinder heads all that's left to do is start removing the valve cover bolts. Good luck!
And but the way i watch your video about drain the oil, and i found oil inside the intercooler pipes, Do u think if I replace the intercooler with the pipe that connects to the intake manifold (the Y) will fix the problem?? Also i saw u talkings out the seals ? What seals exactly? Is it the black O ring(the plastic ) one ? That come around the pipe ? Is that what u mean about the seals ?
Great videos, I have an 06 TTS with 80,000 miles, have not had any major problems with it. I'm not as handy on the stuff you have taken on but I have done oil changes, differential fluids, rear brakes pads & rotors, rear hatch struts e brake struts, head light bulbs and replaced wiring harness, was getting the dipped beam. Future work brake fluid flush, spark plugs, air filters. Whats you thoughts on the fuel filter and pump? Thanks for the videos and detailed explanation.
Hi Doug, Thanks for the kind words! Glad my videos are helpful! I have been told the fuel pump is almost guaranteed to go out between the 90-110k mark. I don't know how true that is but I will probably replace it when I close in on the 90k mile mark for piece of mind. Sounds like you're pretty handy with these cars too so I'm sure you can tackle a fuel pump as well.
This is an excellent video. Just want to weigh in with one correction. The right tool to open the drain plug is a T50 Torx Plus bit. The 8 mm hex bit that is commonly communicated on the internet will strip your aluminum drain plug very easily. Do not use it. Porsche likes to use these strange nuts and bolts to prevent you from working on your own car!
My car definitely doesn't use any torx bolts for the oil pan drain bolts. Even the factory shop manual states to use a 8mm allen for both drain bolts. I think someone may have swapped out your drain bolt? No doubt Porsche does like to use some strange bolt combinations when putting these cars together.
Torx plus is not interchangeable with a torx. Take a look at this thread with input from a PCA instructor: www.germanautoforums.com/forum/porsche-cayenne-10/cayenne-s-oil-change-need-advice-1275/ He mentions the profile of this bolt. Look carefully at the drain plug. Each edge has a slight curvature to it. You can stick an 8 mm hex key in there, but it is not a hex pattern.
That is Porsche's official position on oil changes. My official position is, oil is cheap and engines are not! I change my oil every 7500 miles considering a replacement engine is upwards of $30k. To me it's cheap insurance to insure a long service life.
Hey dan , please please please i need your help , i have 2006 porsche cayenne turbo, that leaks from front bottom right bumper and left bottom bumper, ( I’m %100 sure that’s not from the oil pan and not from the valve conver gasket) it’s by the intercooler but I’m not sure exactly, it’s dripping from the top to the bottom, nothing in the middle please can u tell me what’s that could be ? I can send u picture if u want
With what limited information I have to go on, my best guess is the charge pipe seals are probably leaking. There are o-rings around each of these pipes that go into the intercooler and with age they tend to leak.
hello Dan I just se your other video , Quick Tour, and i Heard that you change valve cover gaskets, sad that you dont make a video about it, but i also Heard aboute the water pipes under the intakt, Dan can i see if the change it or do i need to remove some parts to see it, thanks again for very good video, from micke Sweden.
+mikael stigberg I have heard of some people using a borescope camera to snake down below the intake manifold to check if the coolant pipes have been changed. You can try that? Otherwise the only way I know is to loosen the intake manifold enough to prop it up so you can see the pipes. I'm currently working on a water pump, idler pulley, and serpentine belt replacement video and should have it up in a week or so.
Cayenne Turbos are notorious for using oil. It's not uncommon to see these cars burn 1 quart of oil every 1500-2000 miles. I switched from Mobil 0w40 to Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 and noticed my oil consumption dramatically decreased. After switching to Shell oil it only needs 2 quarts between oil changes (7500 miles).
@@DIYDanCars I did the same on my CTT and notice a decrease in the oil consumption... but i use 5w40 sn A40 approved oil because here in Brazil theres no need to use a 0w oil, btw, 0w40 oil here is 2x price comparing to 5w40
+Shane Todd I believe you can only reset early Cayenne's (03 and 04) without using a scan tool. Try this. - With key in off position, depress the ODO button. - Without brake pedal depressed, turn ignition on while still pushing the ODO button. - You should see a message: "Service Reset". - Push and hold the "enter" button located on the bottom of the wiper stalk. - While cotinuing to push the "enter" button, turn off the ignition.
OBII scanner will not reset oil service light. Try this thread on rennlist. rennlist.com/forums/porsche-cayenne-forum/904797-oil-reset-tool-cheap-solution.html
+DIY Dan After but before it gave me a notification "service in 500 miles" and I changed oil next day now can not get rid of "service now" when I turn on vehicle
I get the countdown like "service in 500 miles". You need a dealer tool to reset the oil change reminder. Unfortunately, Porsche does not have a reset function that owners can perform on their own.
+DIY Dan okay thanks, one last Q so is my vehicle going to have the same efficiency as if I never changed the oil? Since the computer is telling me I need to change oil
No, the service now light will not effect the engine in anyway. Some people have had luck buying the "X-431R" that is sold on eBay to reset the light themselves. Maybe give that a try, otherwise a dealer tool or durametric will be needed in order to reset the "service now" light.
+Chance Jones the car has been very reliable. My Cayenne Turbo has around 52k miles on it now and so far the only things that needed replacement were the valve cover gaskets and charge pipe seals. I do service the car myself, so it hasn't been expensive to maintain at all. If you have to bring it in for service find a trust worthy mechanic besides the dealer to lower your maintenance bill. Try and find the lowest mileage car you can afford with a solid service history. Please keep in mind though, these are German cars, which do have their quirks, so if repair sticker shock is likely going to give you a heart attack, I would probably look at something else. But for me its so worth it! 450HP vrrrooooom :)
+Alex Berovides Sorry to hear Alex! My car has been very reliable so far but I barely have 50k miles on mine. This is one of the reasons why I try and buy the lowest mileage example I can, because once these cars or any car for that matter hits 100k, the consumables will need refreshing. Brakes and oil changes are pretty easy to do and you could have done them yourself for much less. Sounds like you have a lot of the maintenance items up to date. So your car should be pretty sorted and ready to battle another 100k without much trouble. :)
Cool! Yea, Porsche dealers are crazy expensive. I just bought my wife a Lexus GS350 (look for video soon) and hoping for a bullet proof reliability experience. I have heard good things about Lexus and have been impressed with their build quality in the past. We finally pulled the trigger on a GS350 for her a few weeks ago as her Cadillac was becoming troublesome.
+Chance Jones I would say the newer ones are even more reliable. They shouldn't have any of the "coolant pipe" issues because they came from the factory with metal opposed to plastic.
I have heard some early Cayennes were able to have their service light reset without a tool, however I don't what that process involves. More than likely you will need a tool to reset your service light.
@@alpinewhite This is normal on a Cayenne turbo because the crankcase ventilation system dumps the liquid oil back into the suction hose in front of the turbocharger for cylinders 5-8.
