Explain how you do a proper oil change

How funny - you edited your post to remove your step by step 4-hour oil change process on a V4. 🤣 And you answered my question with a question… 🫣

You weigh the oil that’s removed and put the same back in… tricky stuff.

Your turn. How do you do an oil change on a 911? There have been a lot of models, so let’s use a simple one like a 964 as an example. Off to Google…

I don’t know why I entertain this nonsense. 🫣

What a coincidence, my brother had a 964 Cabriolet that we worked on. I agree that it’s a bit of a faff with 2 oil drain plugs and the oil filter is in a tricky spot. I’d rank the Ducati more of a faff (but only by a little) just because of the drain and refill times and the filter removal/install is also overly complicated

Because weighing oil is a great way to measure it. I call bullsh!t that your dainty hands have ever touched a wrench.

Sorry, I forgot that you think you’re an expert on everything, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Weighing oil actually is a good way to measure it.

You’re not worth my secret sauce 😜 And if you don’t think it take 4 hrs, you’re doing it wrong

I saw what you wrote before you edited it… :rolleyes: You certainly can do it like that but there’s an easier way. No ‘special sauce’ required. And you don’t sit there watching it drain for two hours - you can do other stuff…

Still nothing on what’s involved in a 911 oil change, despite you acting like you know the difference and having an opinion on it. It’s ok though, don’t worry about it. I already knew you were spouting opinions about stuff you’ve no actual experience with. What a shocker…

Anyway, nothing you have said in the thread really has much to do with the topic, so maybe give it a rest?

Took you a while to Google that.

There’s also a vent that can be loosened to help avoid too much mess changing the filter. You won’t know about that without more extensive Googling or actually having worked on the cars. Jacking up a 911 is much more of a pain than removing one half of the standard lower fairing on the V4. There’s a lot of oil and you certainly do need to let it drain for some time if you want to do it properly. The oil level is also much harder to read (many change to a 993 dipstick as it’s easier to see the level on that one). Obviously easier to see on a V4.

The V4 is easier.

At least you have a dipstick and can see the engine on the older ones. Better than taking off the rear bumper just to change an air filter…

Considering that the ABS unit is nestled in between the engine and front headers, I’m not surprised the fluid goes bad quicker than normal. Most ABS units are put in the rear subframe away from heat sources. Not Ducati… Though the engineers probably found that putting it in the rear subframe was hotter than the its current location. At least there’d be a little air flow where it’s at now.

I think this is exactly right. It's the built in fluid pre heater. And the extra 3 gallons of fluid that goes with it. Geez...

It did because I didn't do 6000km service yes.

What level and which spec are you talking about?

They denied the warranty claim because you didn't do the service right? But the failure had nothing to do with the lack of service. Actually, I thought the unbroken bits looked perfectly OK. From the pictures I saw it was their error. They should have warrantied yours.

There was no claim. The bike was long outside of warranty and I'm the 3rd owner.
 
Having changed my oil and filter every 4 days of use Ive looked at a variety of methods.
The best thing with an oil change is time
If you do it yourself you have the opportunity to leave it to drain overnight and even drain the oil rad.
The weighing the oil thing is a bit OTT as it’s a liquid you get a cc volume of what came out.
