Did my first oil change myself, always stressful on a 986.
The plug was in so tight I couldn't believe it. Replaced it with a magnet plug.

2 years 3000 miles on the oil, year and a half on the filter. I changed just the filter because I was curious. Ran a big magnet though the old oil, not a bit of metal. Added 0W-50 synthetic. Purrs like a kitten ��
Everything went great. :dance:
