V6 and V8 oil changes are completely different. I just finished the first oil change on my 2006 Cayenne V6! Yes, it's different, but much easier. Any one with oil change experiences should be able to do it in 2 hours without reading any instructions. With instructions, you can probably do the oil change in 30 mins. Here is how I did it. Btw, English is not my first language so please bear with me. Tools: 6 mm Allen wrench - to open the oil filter cap 10 mm socket wrench - to remove the belly panel 18 mm socket wrench (crescent wrench works 2, but not recommended) - to remove the drain plug flat screw driver - (your finger nail works 2) to remove the o ring from the oil filter cap Parts: oil filter w. o ring 18 mm crash wafer 7 quart of Mobil1 0-40 (Walmart now sells them!) Procedures: 1) (optional) cover the floor area under the hood with news paper 2) lay down on the floor and get under the car from the driver side. YOU DON'T NEED TO JACK UP THE CAR! 3) Remove the screws (about 8 of them) holding the belly panel using the 10 mm socket wrench and slide out the panel. YOU DON'T NEED TO REMOVE THE "CHEST PANEL". 4) (optional) look around and identify all the VW parts and Audi parts, then call Porsche for a refund! 5) Get the oil collection pan ready and then open the drain plug using the 18 mm socket wrench. The pan should be able to "drink" 7 quote of oil in 30 seconds. The drain plug can be found above the line where the belly panel overlaps the chest panel. 6) Locate the oil filter cap, which is a round black plastic piece with a hex metal nut on top. 7) (optional, but highly recommended) put on eye protection glasses. 8) Loose the oil filter cap using the 6 mm Allen wrench. The first few turns are petty hard. Stop when the cap can be turned by hand. 9) Get out and crawl back in from the front of the car. Get the oil pan ready, hide your face behind the chest panel, roll up your sleeves and then open and pull out the oil filter cap. About 3/4 quart of Engine oil will pour out of the oil filter housing and there are no way to direct the flow. Any one has a good idea? Please let me know! 10) Wipe your hand, arm, face and the oil filter cap clean. Change the filter (btw, the factory installed filter on my cayenne is made by Hengst and it also got a VW sign on it. One more refund item!) and the o ring using a screw driver. 11) Screw the oil filter cap onto the housing. Don't over tighten it! 12) Replace the wafer and install the drain plug 13) Add close to 7 quart of oil. 14) Start the car and check for leaks. 15) Reinstall the belly panel and you've done! Dealer charges at least $300 for a oil change. I did mine for $60 in about two hours. I make way less than $120 per hour after tax, so DIY is totally worth it! I now have 40,000 on my 06 Cayenne, so I have changed the oil several times. The cleanest and fastest way I have found to remove the oil from the pan is to use an oil extractor to suck the oil out of the dip stick. Unlike what others may say, it removes all the oil since when I add the 7 quarts of new oil the it is always on the fill mark. This is a very clean and quick way to remove the oil. You can do it in a suit. To remove the filter and the oil from the filter cleanly, loosen the inner nut with an Allen wrench until you can turn it with your hand. Place a gallon size ziplock bag over the filter and complete the removal with your hand through the bag. Let the nut drop in the bag along with the oil. Pour out the oil from the bag and fish out the nut and place it back on before removing the oil filter holder with a 36mm socket. Replace the filter cartridge in the holder making sure it snaps in, tighten the center nut and reinstall the cartridge. Tip: be sure to place some oil around the new gasket that comes with the filter insert, it allows the filter holder to tighten more easily. The whole precess takes about 30 minutes with very little oil mess and 1/3 the cost.
