malcolm Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) My oil of choice for the Cayenne is Rotella T6 and as its on sale I stocked up yesterday. The new parts bin always has filters on the shelf so with reasonable garage temperatures, a number of kms on the speedo since the last change I changed the oil and filter. The Cayenne GTS comes with air suspension that can be raised /lowered dependant on driving application and as the lift is not operational (another story) I raised the vehicle height to special terrain, the highest it can go. With this setting the project can be carried out without further level adjustment. There are 2 covers that have to be removed; the front cover first attached by 8 T20 torx screws. The next cover is held on by 9 bolts with 10mm heads. Once both are removed the oil drain plug can be accessed, 8mm hex. Once loosened and removed the ~9L of old oil comes out with a rush. As the oil drips out the filter can be serviced by removing a cap 36mm with Oring then the paper cartridge filter can by withdrawn. Clean the cap then install a new Oring and new filter........torque to spec. Clean the oil drain plug, install a new washer then install on engine......torque to spec. Fill the engine with fresh oil, start her up for a few mins and check for leaks. All good, shut the engine off, install the 2 covers, recheck oil level and top up if required and close the hood. All good for another 15k kms Edited March 7, 2016 by malcolm Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
Keith Adams Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Now I wish my Ford F-150 had air suspension! It's about 3/4" of an inch too low to scoot under without my belt buckle hanging up on the bumper! Quote Link to comment
