Suggestion

If you poke around a bit in the 987 section you'll find people who've done is - using the method of capturing and measuring the quantity of fluid that came out of the transmission, then putting the same amount back in.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hello all, I'm looking to service my 2011 Boxster S PDK . I've seen so much conflicting information about doing this job. Does anyone have a good DIY tutorial or anything like that? The best thing I've encountered is a DIY in this form on how to do it for a 981 . But that's for a 981 , so I don't know if it's the same for the 987.2 .

POST 2Original post

Hi Cole, welcome to Planet-9, the Friendly Porsche Forum. .. for 1st timers with questions.. (more on that later.) They're basically the same, except the 2011 PDK calls for 60k fluid change for the control circuit fluid, and 120k fluid and filter (which means pan since the filter is part of the pan) and the gear chamber fluid. If you poke around a bit in the 987 section you'll find people who've done is - using the method of capturing and measuring the quantity of fluid that came out of the transmission, then putting the same amount back in. Do note - there are two different fluids - for two different purposes. You do not want to get these mixed up. One member did put gear oil in the control chamber which resulted in him having to buy a new valve body IIRC... Now - the "more on that later" - many people arrive at Panet-9 as you did, and they're looking for an answer, sort of like asking something on Facebook. We're not like Facebook. We aren't faceless. If you go to the new members forum section - you'll find lots of intro messages from people. They post pictures of their cars - - and tell a bit about themselves. That section can be found at: https://www.planet-9.com/forums/new_members/ - take a few minutes before heading there (or after) to read the NOTICE at the top of every page on the forum. Photos are great, 32mb photos not so much. Editing the photo beforehand shows you care.. And again, welcome.

I was disappointed to have studied the process only to find out the access hole on the rear plate for the 987.2 is not aligned with the drain plug. The entire rear pan has to be pulled to I am delaying it till year end. Overflow was good with clean DCT oil. Also, I disagree with the torque applied to the fill plugs, knowing Porsche they want you to replace them every trip. Also the drain plugs use torx and the fill Allen fitment, why Germany? Why?
