I watched your video on Porsche oil change. Is the oil plug tool an allen wrench configuration or some special "hex" end?
Is there a better place to order filters and crush washers? Your video did not show you changing the crush washer but some others I watched stressed using new crush washers.
I have a specific reason for asking. I just added oil to my Porsche for the first time and although I watched it closely, somehow the on board oil level "computer" says I over did it. It cannot be more than a cup too much but the Porsche is unforgiving. I have not driven the car and thought I would just drain some oil out via loosening the drain plug for a second or two but I am worried about sealing because I wont be able to replace the crush washer. The 8 quarts of oil in the car is pretty new so I don't want to lose it. I assume I would be able to just loosen the plug by hand until it starts to drip and just hold it there and re-tighten it after a cup of oil comes out.
What do you say about all of this?
