Default Changing Oil via dipstick tube
Can the oil be drained on a 2003 911 thru the dipstick tube (like the Benz) when the filters do not need changing? Would anyone recommend synthetic 10w40 over 15w50?

Default RE: Changing Oil via dipstick tube
Uhhh no. It is one drain plug on the bottom of the motor. 8mm allen. Oil filter is right next to it. I recommend 7500 or 6 months which ever comes first. Use 0w-40 mobil 1.
