I don't see any oil drains on the 997TT Turbos.

Oops. Where are my manners. Thanks for your reply Loren.

I don't see any oil drains on the 997TT Turbos.

I don't see them either. Interestingly enough, my dealer parts department sold me two seal rings for these drains that may not exist!

I have started an oil change on my 997. I have followed the 996TT Oil Change DIY from this website. I can not find the Turbo oil drain plugs on the 997. They are not located where the 996 DIY pictures indicate.

Does anyone have any suggestions, pictures, or repair manual diagrams to share with me?

Thank you in advance.

Jeff

I vote to ask permission if it isn't too hard.

I have the issue, but believe it would be worthwhile to be able to provide a link whenever someone goes hyper about the M96.

Neither Excellence staffers nor the test cars have never had a M96 grenade. One RMS leak reported repaired with many miles since.

I contacted Excellence about the possibility of making this article available on renntech.org. They basically declined saying opening it up to us is essentially opening it up to the entire world. I guess they have a point. And for now, I bet this article is driving some back issue sales.

This article seems to be of such importance to the reputation of the 986/996, that it should be posted for the greater good of the Porsche owner community and all prospective buyers. I know too many people who are too scared to buy a 986/996 because of the RMS issue.

did anybody read the article in December's issue of EXCELLENCE? - about the m96 motors... from 99 right to 2008.... ALSO BY JIM PASHA :clapping:

I guess time really shows how good an m96 motor is....

does anybody know if the 2009 3.4 caymans have an intermediate shaft?

Would it be possible for someone to request permission to post this December 2008 M96 motor article from Excellence Magazine? I missed this issue and this sounds like a can't miss article for any modern 911 enthusiast. Thanks in advance!
