Engine Oil & Filter Change - 2015 Porsche Macan S

Join our DIY community. Subscribe!! Subscribe to our PorscheDIY YouTube Channel and THANK YOU for your support!

I've done many oil changes in both my 2015 Porsche Macan S and my 2018 718 Cayman S, as well as in other cars I currently own (2016 Volvo XC90 R-Design and 2020 BMW X2). And although I changed and documented all fluid changes in my Porsche Macan in video, I've never documented an oil change... So, here you go.

I know there are tons of videos out there on this, but I wanted to put a different spin, more from engineering standpoint, and the importance of some steps I take.

I have personally changed my oil, clutch and gear oil, and rear diff oil just by watching your videos! I cannot thank you enough for all the extra work you do to film yourself working on your car. Do you know if there is anything special that needs to be done when changing the power steering fluid? I'm looking to tackle that one next

Do you always use 5w-40? I'm wondering if 0w-40 would be better for winter months. Thanks in advance! Great video, as always

Wait. Was this reuploaded.. Or am I experiencing Deja Vu?

Good video!
What about oil consumption on your Macan?
I have about 1 liters per 3000 kilometers, gts 2017

Do you have a link for the x431? when I google it tons pop up

[UmeshKumar-uxig]

Thanks a lot for sharing such a thorough process! Can you please share links to the parts and tools (torque wrench, SOCKETS/bits etc.) you have used? The scan/diagnostic tool is a bit pricey. Is it worth or something cheaper is fine for oil change? Appreciate your advice.

I have a 2016 Macan S in Massachusetts and had ~90k miles. You still recommend 5W-40? Thanks again!

Very good video I....I have a xtool-D7 scanner it should reset the maintenance light

[lewiswhite]

Does your launch X431 scan tool read off the oil level? Or do you have to rely solely on the gauge in your Macan?

Hi, thank you for your video, I learn a lot from you. I already ask it the video which you remove about ceratech. Ceratech note that it is suitable for wet clutch. And our macan is wet clutch. Does ceratech do any damage to engine or clutch. Thank

I really like you wheels. They look like the turbo wheels but nicer. What kind of wheels are they and where did you get them?
