These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Have an 06 cayman , what size torx tool do I need for the oil drain plug, I am assuming it is a torx size. thanks. Jocko

POST 2Original post

Take a read though this: Motor Oil / Mobil 1 - My Articles There's a lot of good stuff in the articles section. brad

POST 3Original post

8 mm hex/Allen wrench (not torx). Best to use a hex socket.

POST 4Original post

ok, guys, the above two posts gives me two different sizes of hex/allen tools tools to remove the oil dran plug. one in the Mobil Oil change states 10M and the other states 8 M. ???????

POST 5Original post

The article is confusing, and caused me a return trip to the hardware store a while back. I got a 10 mm allen and had to return for 8 mm. I can tell you my 2008 CS uses an 8 mm allen. AFAIK, all Caymans use the 8 mm.

POST 7Original post

The article is incorrect and should be edited. The hex size is 8 mm. As I mentioned, get a hex socket not an Allen wrench. In addition, I prefer to use proper torque values for tightening the drain plug ( 34 ft/lb or 50 Nm) and the plastic filter housing ( 18.5 ft/lb or 25 Nm), rather than the suggestion in the article to make it "guten-tight." You'll save enough on your 1st DIY oil change to buy the right tools to do the job properly. I learned long ago that having the right, good quality tools and doing the job correctly pays off.
