Getting ready for first oil change since I bought end of Sept 2012. Dealer had done it then. This will be roughly 5000 miles since last change. I plan on every 6 Month doing a change which is approx. every 5k miles.
!!! This is not a what type of oil is best thread !!!
I want to also drop the oil sump pan to do a visual, look for any debris in there. Get an idea if anything is getting chewed up.
Question is - are there things that may pop out or I should be careful to watch for do to gravity when I pull the pan down ?
I'm looking for Loctite 5900 50ml locally but it appears it has to be ordered. It's a pain that everything has to be ordered off the interweb. I'm to weak to go into the dealer.
The torque values for the pan (Deep sump project) about 11 Nm or 8 ft-lbs. Does that sound right? Surprised these values are not in the Bentley manual
The first, for the Boxster, I've done many on all my other cars. The hardest part are the unique tools and parts that need to be gathered the first time
