Basic Maintanance

[paulg1]

Here's what I want to do myself in my garage on my '05 997:

Change Oil & filter (do I need to elevate car?)

Change engine air filter

Change interior charcol air filter

Purge brake fluid & repalce

Need DIY how-to information, tools required, parts #s, and source for parts.

Thanks,

Paulg1

Other than the engine air filter those tasks are the same as on the 996. Have a look in the 996 DIY section under maintenance.

The 997S air filter change is here in the 997 section. I'll have a look and see how different the 997 (non S) is.

Thank you very much.

Will follow your advice.

I did look at changing air filer on S model. Am guessing for non-S, maybe it is self-evident just looking at it. A couple fasteners?

You folks who have done this - where'd you get your wheel ramps? Any other advice?

Yes, the standard 997 does not have the resonator connection in the air cleaner so you can skip that.

Hi,

Replacing the air filter takes some time. There are a lot of srews to undo before you can split the air cleaner

box.
