‘19 Cayman S. I forgot to buy a $0.15 crush washer for the drain plug when changing my oil. Thought I could get away with reusing the old one. Was wrong. $100 worth of oil, $15 worth of engine degreaser, and an extra Saturday to resolve.
Thanks for confirming that I always need to buy new crush washers for my 996. Every time I change the oil, I debate whether it’s necessary but have always gotten a new one. Glad to know it wasn’t in vain
It’s the most difficult car to work on that I’ve ever owned… but it’s also the only mid-engine I’ve ever owned, and I don’t own a post lift so it was a PITA to get a good look at all the bits . That said, it’s not terrible and YouTube is your friend as always.

how easy was it to diy maintenance on 718 S? im thinking about it but wouldn’t want to mess anything up as it would be my first try on any car.
