Lift & Jacks or Ramp for Oil Changes???

[mikefocke]

I was lazy and simply took oil, filter, crush ring and a clean drain plug to the local quick change oil place and let them do it for about $20. The filter is easy to access, not unique to the Porsche brand and I monitored the whole process. They regularly did about a dozen P-cars.

At my previous house, I used a combination of a sloped driveway and ramps. That way I could get under there and look as I wanted to see if there were any indications of a leak in addition to changing the oil and filter.

the only thing i don't like about this is that the shop over torquing and oil changes give me a chance to look under the car for leaks/cv boots etc

Great stuff!

My driveway is gravel, so all my work will be in the level garage. In there I plan to use the ramps and try out the front jack trick to get a little extra oil out.

Thanks everyone! !

Happy New Year!!!!
