Solution

Solution

1. Refer to Manufacturer Guidelines

  • Locate the owner's manual for the 2019 Porsche 911 (992).
  • Look for the section on maintenance and oil change intervals.

2. Standard Oil Change Interval

  • For the Porsche 911 (992), the recommended oil change interval is typically every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.
  • If the vehicle is driven under severe conditions (e.g., high-performance driving, extreme temperatures), consider changing the oil every 5,000 miles.

3. Choose the Right Oil

  • Use high-quality synthetic oil that meets Porsche's specifications (Porsche A40 or A50).
  • Ensure the oil viscosity is suitable for the driving conditions (usually 0W-40 or 5W-40).

4. Perform the Oil Change

  • Warm up the engine for about 10 minutes to thin the oil.
  • Gather tools: oil filter wrench, socket set, oil drain pan, funnel, and new oil filter.
  • Drain the old oil by removing the oil drain plug and allowing it to fully drain.
  • Replace the oil filter using the oil filter wrench.
  • Reinstall the drain plug with the specified torque (typically around 25 Nm).
  • Pour in the new oil using the funnel and check the oil level with the dipstick.
