Porsche 944 Turbo Oil Change and Oil Pressure Sending Unit Replacement

🛠️ How to Change the Oil & Oil Pressure Sending Unit on a Porsche 944 Turbo

In this video, I walk through how to perform an oil change and replace the oil pressure sending unit on my Porsche 944 Turbo (951).

If you’ve ever owned one of these cars, you know the oil change is notoriously messy — the filter’s location and orientation make it almost impossible to avoid a spill. I’ll show you the steps I take as a 100% Certified Amateur to get it done, along with how to access and replace the oil pressure sending unit for more reliable readings on your dash gauge.

This video covers everything from draining the oil, to removing that awkwardly-placed filter, to installing the new sending unit — plus a few tips to make the process easier next time.
