What can low oil do to my Porsche 911 engine?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Porsche 911 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Porsche oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

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