As easy as it is to order from places like Sunset, and price competitive, I always use OEM Porsche parts.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to change the oil on the D-mobile myself. The internet is proliferated with different brands of filters that run the gamut in terms of price. Is there any real difference between Mann, Mahle, Hengst K&N, Bosch and some of the generic brands ?

POST 2Original post

Yes, especially for the air cooled cars (2 oil filters, the small one being most critical). For the 986/987 probably less so. As easy as it is to order from places like Sunset, and price competitive, I always use OEM Porsche parts. Are you going to try the Joe Gibbs Raby Approved DT40 5W40 oil? You should.

POST 3Original post

You could always get his spin on oil filter adapter, as well, and make your choices endless.

Quotes source post: 348155

Wix/NAPA Gold; OEM-style Oil filter 57211, LN canister style 51042. Better made, finer pore size, fraction of the cost...........

POST 5Original post

JD are there any special underbody panels you'll have to remove and is there anything you can tell "us" about them? IE: type of materials and/or, their purpose??? Thanks.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 348206

As you might image the underbody panels of the D-mobile are special issue. Amongst other things they're drone proof.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
