I 2nd that motion.
The 45k service is a joke,it should be more like $300 tops.
Parts all should be $60 oil,$.10 for a drain plug washer, $10 oil filter & o ring
Air filer $16 (Mahle)
Just for fun while the oil is draining,change the charcoal activated cabin filter $20,buy the one on www.************************************************************,it's labeled as a 997 number that works on a 986/996. It was an option that Porsche marked up greatly. It's meant as a hyper-allergenic filter kind of like for a house I think.
While the oil is draining you could have a snack & change out the cabin filter(I don't think it's part of the 45k). After the oil is done draining, change out the oil filter,reinstall the oil filter and oil drain plug. Fill the oil,run the car for a few minutes and recheck the oil levels. After that change the air filter,if you've already accessed your MAF then changing the air filter should be a breeze.
