What models does this product fit? - See our fitment guide list for compatible cars
Is this difficult to fit? - It is easier than the standard Porsche oil tube; due to its unique 2 part design the more involved crankcase mounting step is simpler with less bulky tube in the way. Once the lower crankcase tube is mounted the upper tube can be put on in less than 1 minute.
This tube seems to have a smaller diameter than the stock tube, is it? - It is slightly smaller, however due to its shorter length and more sloped design; oil flow during filling is similar to the stock tube.
Does this product modify my car permanently? - No, your vehicle can be switched back to stock at any time.
How long does it take to remove the upper section of the tube for routine vehicle maintenance? - Typically less than 1 minute with the correct tool. Fitting it back again takes the same amount of time.
If I fit and remove the upper tube repeatedly will it get damaged? - Highly unlikely, both tubes have metal thermally bonded internal hardware to interface with the mounting bolts, making them robust and sturdy over repeated use.
What happens if I have a bad accident and break one of the tubes? - Spares are available on the website; there is no need to buy an entire kit again.
Does the tube debris catch stop anything dropping into my engine? - Not everything, very small debris may pass through the debris catch, most accidental debris such as loose bolts should be caught by the catch however giving protection against catastrophic damage.
Why does the defective parts warranty only offer coverage with the plastic oil cap? - during the product development phase various aftermarket machined aluminum caps were tested; it was discovered that several had poorly machined threads. As it is not feasible to test every single type of these machined caps, use of them is at the owners risk. If you do decide to use an aftermarket cap buy a high quality version and read the next FAQ.
I want to use an aftermarket cap; what should I check prior to permanent fitment? - Check for binding when screwing the cap in. Examine your cap for poor machining and finally confirm the cap seal interfaces correctly with the oil tube to form a robust seal.
Can I use the stock Porsche oil cap with this product? - No, the stock Porsche oil cap was considered but has several weak bayonet features which were deemed fragile; an alternate robust threaded cap was used instead.
Do I have to wire lock the oil cap in place? - No, the wire lock is an option. If you want to track the car and have extra security, convenient wire lock tabs are built into the tube.
Why is this tube in 2 parts? - Having the tube in 2 sections has several advantages; the upper part can be removed very quickly and this allows much greater access to various parts of the vehicle for maintenance and repair. If one of the tubes is accidentally damaged a spare tube can be purchased. Fitting of the initial lower tube to the crankcase is much simpler due to its compact form factor.
I already have the correct oil cap or I want to purchase my own stock plastic oil cap; what is the part number? - The cap is a stock Subaru part. The part number is 15255AA080. Note there are other Subaru part numbers that will fit this kit; however some of these caps have oil viscosity grade text which will not match the requirement of your Porsche. Take care this does not cause your mechanic to use the incorrect oil grade.
