Thanks! I guess I should post some in the Boxster forum as I’m pretty sure I have the biggest Boxster YouTube channel out there

Porsche Cayenne Oil Change (also Panamera)

Nice video, but the filter on the turbo is located much more accessible than on the Base V6. On mine there's no way to avoid spilling oil all over the crossbar under it, my dealer admits they create a mess when changing oil in one. I've tried the plastic bag trick but it helps very little.

Some things never change. Porsche made the 944 turbo the same way. Oil just dumps all over the steering rack and floor. The plastic bag trick has never worked for me either. By the time the filter separates enough for the bag to get under it, 90% of the filter's oil is on the floor already. I made that 3D printed oil bib I posted last week, which as far as I know is the ONLY way to prevent an oil mess when changing the oil on a 944. If I get a Cayenne one of these days, I'll see about making something similar for it.

For spaces like that I like to use aluminum foil to cover and direct the oil to flow where I want it to go.
