Road trip from Omaha to Denver in July 2025

[pshep138]

Put 1,600 miles on the car in three days, often doing triple digit speeds at altitude. Pikes Peak, Continental Divide, Peak to Peak Highway, Rocky Mountain National Park. Didn't miss a beat.

Had to change the air filter.

Yessir, along with the taillights. Very crucial for the air filter.

Did the 40k maintenance. Spoiler and airbox came out, too.

Anyone care to guess where the N55 is normally parked? lol

Not a terribly hard job to do, but so stupid on Porsche's part. Basically impossible to work on the back 60% of the motor without it being dropped. They could have added access panels like the Caymans.

You're saving yourself a mountain of money doing this yourself!!!!

Yep, same with Panamera. Front bumper fascia needs to be "moved to service position" (removed) to replace the engine air filter.

Yessir! Last I knew, the stealership I went to while under CPO was $320/hr.

Took me a while since I took ky sweet time getting acclimated to where things were. Even the aft-most spark plugs weren't as bad as the DIY's I found seemed to make them out to be. DIY'ing also allowed me to find the near-stripped bolt head for one of the taillight bolts as well as the receptacle for one of the upper bumper bolts. Need to find the part to replace the latter but I ordered all new bolts for the taillights.

I'm amazed at how little access to the oil filter there is, though. It's not like it isn't a common maintenance item. Got it out w/o spilling but I had to take the cap out separately from the filter.

So you're saying bumper removal is correlated to the # of doors? Must be part of their design language.

So... where is the airfilter located actually?

Under the rear (retractable) spoiler and behind the rear bumper. In fairness, that 1st pic from my original post was after I took the airbox out to access the tension lever, serpentine belt, and throttle body. The latter for inspection and the former two to inspect, but I also replaced them proactively.

Here's a pic w/ the spoiler assembly still installed. You can access all the airbox cover screws once the rear bumper and taillights are removed, an actually very simple process.

Literally the largest airbox I've ever seen.

It needs all the air for that lovely 4k+ RPM wail.
