In this video, I demonstrate the process of changing the oil and filter in a 2018 718 Cayman S. The same process is applicable to all 718.
I used Motul 8100 X-Cess Gen 2 engine oil, and Liquid-Moly Ceratec additive.

Honestly the oil filter doesn't look any worse than it was on my b7 a4. I'm planning on getting a cayman s to complement the cayenne GTS so I wanted to check this out. Never had a mid engine car before. Looks pretty straightforward. Appreciate the vid! What a lovely example of a cayman s as well!
Why flip that little switch? Like what is it and why is it important to flip it?
What was your procedure for getting the Cayman into the air? Ramps then jacks? Is Quik Jack on your list of must haves? Thanks for the video!
can you buy the tool to reset all maintenance after complete or is that something only the dealership can do? Looking to buy a cayman and i want to do it all myself instead of taking to the dealership all the time
Never heard of running an engine flush just to switch oil types/brands. Also that filter is in a pretty shitty spot! Reminds me of the Minis oil filter location , a lot of the times they drain the oil but dont touch the filter.
I'm planning on getting a 718 S and that oil filter placement doesn't look fun
You may have overfilled the oil if it's at max measurement while cold or not full operating temp. When you drive it very hard, you'll get a warning message that it's overfilled. It's better to shoot for the middle, drive it properly and then adjust up if needed.
Porsche did a great job placing the oil filter in a way to make people come back to the stealerships.
How many new swear words did you invent doing that oil filter. Awkward or what.
Do you have link for the shop manual please?
Thanks for the video, when filling oil, what funnel is that and what was the black handled item your removed? Thanks.
You definitely don’t need to flush the engine on a car that new. If it was 15 years old and never used synthetic oil then maybe.
This was very professional, I’d love to see more of your content
Great video
