[03911NM]

Hello All,

This is my first post on this great forum. I am very impressed with the information and especially like Loren's DIY pages.

Now for my question. I am about to do my first oil change on my '03 911 Cab, and I am gathering all the necessary tools and parts to do it properly, as per Loren's detailed instructions.

My Porsche dealer in Albuquerque just quoted me about $25.00 for the oil filter wrench ($15.00 cost). In the DIY instructions it is listed at about $7.00. Could you please tell me which dealer I can call to get it at that price?

Sorry if I'm being a cheap-skate, but I always try to save whenever possible so that I can afford my next 911. ;)

Thank you for your help.

Stephen

Try Sunset Imports in Oregon. (see link at the top of the pages here - Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost).

Obviously some dealers have raised the prices based on demand. :welcome:

One of our local Boxster owners bought the Mann wrench sold by Porsche and was charged $25. :angry:

I bought mine a few years ago for $6.56.

I also have the one made by Hazet which I like better. It is on ebay now for $19.

Just bought mine this week at sunset for $15 dealer cost plus 15% (about $17).
