Car Fix DIY Videos

►The Porsche 996 oil filler tube is a common point of failure on these chassis. So much so that it’s worth inspecting if you don’t know the last time it was replaced. Over time and countless heat cycles, the plastic oil filler tube becomes brittle and cracks at the section with the bellows.

Instead of waiting and finding a puddle of oil in your engine bay and underneath your car after you top up your oil, replace it before it fails.

In this DIY, Michael Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s resident 996 enthusiast, shows us how to easily replace the oil filler tube at home.
