Did my first 986 (2.7L) oil change tonight. It was actually one of the easier oil changes I have done. Everything is very convenient to reach. My wife used to have a 2000 Dodge Neon that you had to be like the "rubber man" in the Fantastic 4 to reach the oil filter. I did make a bit of mess at first. I had no idea the oil would come out in such volume. I tried catching some in a sample bottle for Blackstone and it quickly over-filled and went all over the place. Oh well, that is why we have kitty litter.

Next time it's air filter and spark plugs. :dance:
