This thread is actually interesting

I'm not sure about the 2021, but other 911s that I've seen have the drain plug right underneath in the back, so that part is easy. Then you open the hood and take off the fan housing and underneath one of the fans is the filter. Not too hard and you'll save a lot, dealerships charge like $500 for that. :upsidedow

Yeah its crazy how they make you remove the rear bumper to do anything.

To be fair though on my 997 most tasks are easier with the rear off as well.

I never done it with my cars.
If out of warranty, what i usually do is buy all the materials needed, bring it to my favorite shop and they do all the hard work for me while I carefully watch them.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh nice

hmm it seems you are right, issue is more scheduled maintenance versus doing it yourself

I drive an electric car I don't change oil anymore at all :thumbsup

beautiful car. why not the taycan ?:)

I've actually started working on my own cars again after 20 years of just taking them to the dealer etc. I hate making appointments, waiting in line and shit, often having them fuck it up and taking it back again. Get a nice sense of accomplishment doing it yourself too. I just did an engine swap in my garage as well

Thumbs up!

At that point just buy some good ramps and a socket set and have at it. Give it a try

Same here. I got back into all the hobbies I had as a kid—guitars, fishing, and cars. Started drag racing about 4 years ago and went crazy with a hellcat build. It’s fun being able to build and fabricate parts. The longest part of an oil change is the oil draining.

I'd change my own oil if it was easier to get rid of the old oil.

Autozone will take it.
I had the same problem

I have so many containers of old fluids lined up in my garage :1orglaugh

Too fucking lazy.

I feel ya there.

I used to change my oil. Not anymore.

I’ll admit, It’s not as easy as it used to be. I put in a lift. It goes up 4 feet. It helps a lot

I use to love to work on my car when I was young. Things were much simpler then, no computers. I have never done an oil change but have changed an exhaust, brake cylinder, brake pads and calipers and other various engine items such as spark plugs, belts bla bla bla.....

Cars have become too complicated. And I HATE those damn color coated plastic bumpers!!!! Even the full sized trucks and SUV's are getting these stupid things! I could be happy with an old Chevy Blazer.:thumbsup

Motorcycle yes, but cheaper to have it done with my car.

pictures please, yo!

I'm doing a transmission oil change and filter on my GF's BMW tomorrow oddly enough ... :thumbsup

It's quite a messy job, but I want to be sure it's done properly.

I won't never do this kind of dirty job ... :disgust

There's a girl in this thread and she changes her own oil.

Her husband (or her wife) are lucky ... :stoned
