Why check the motor oil level in my Porsche 911?

Can I change my Porsche 911 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Porsche 911 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Do I need to change my 911's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Not sure how or where to get your Porsche 911’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too.

Porsche recommends changing your 2021 911’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 911 in the above table. Your 911 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Porsche 911.
