Very easy task. You first have to jack the car and have it level properly. Tool needed: 10 mm allen wrench for the transmission ports. I got one mount on a socket. 17 mm socket for the front wheel drive transmission. 10mm sockets for the cover plastic nuts Very small and thin common screwdriver for the panel clips. Torque wrench. A pump for the fluid. I use a Motive Power Fill (about $85.00 with a shut-off valve) Parts needed: About 5 (1/4) liters of Mobilube PTX 75W90. I did not choose any alternate oil. I prefer to stay with Porsche and Loren recommendation! Be ready for a chock, this oil is expensive!!! Here in Montreal I could only found 20 liters container and I finally went to the dealer and he charge me $261.00 for 5 liters!!!!! And a crush washer for the transmission drain part # 900 123 118 30 ($0.52) Note : It is the only port with a sealing ring. Lets start with the front wheel drive transmission. First you have to remove the plastic cover. It is held with 6 clips and 4 plastic nuts. The best way I've found to remove those clips without damaging them is to use a small thin screwdriver and release the small clip through the opening on one side. Panel removed: Now you can see the drain port: And the fill port: Drain the fluid by opening both ports: Note: My drain port had a magnet to pickup metal chips. (There was sludge and little bit of metal shaving, normal wear to me) And reinstall the drain plug when no oil is coming out anymore: Torque is 21 ftlb for both ports. And fill through the fill port until fluid is coming out. Let it drain and when it stop you can look at the level with a mirror. It should be equal with the bottom edge of the port. About 1.5 liters is needed. Having a shut-off valve and a level indicator on the fill bottle was really useful. Reinstall the fill port and torque to 21 ftlb. And reinstall the plastic cover....Thats it for the front wheel drive transmission. The transmission is easy to reach. No panel to remove. An 10mm allen wrench is needed to remove the ports. Remove the fill and drain ports. Drain the fluid. Note: A magnet is install on the drain port and had metal but was the first oil change and suppose to be normal.... Reinstall the drain plug with a new seal part# 900 123 118 30 and torque the plug to 22 ftlb. Fill the transmission through the fill port until level comes to the bottom edge of the port. About 3 liters needed. Reinstall the fill plug (no seal needed) and torque to 22 ftlb. Hope this will help any TT owners out there! Do not hesitate to ask questions or add comments. Thanks, J.P.
