DIY 997.2 oil/filter change

Here are the only tools needed.. No ramps, done with car on the ground and is the easiest change ever.

Here is the oil filter housing, 36MM socket. Unscrew, change rubber ring on cap, pull out old filter, replace filter and cap.

Here is the drain plug (8MM allen), and crush ring which can be reached from under rear of car (while still on ground)

Here is what you do while it s draining. Make sure you have two low profile pans to catch the oil. Replace plug and I used a new crush ring. Don t think you need to overtighten this.

Mine took 8 quarts to fill to the top line. I started with 7 quarts and it came towards the last bar. Added 1/2 qt at a time and at 8 it looked perfect ( so I know for the next time). Thanks for looking. Mark
