I'm in the boonies so no dealers for 60 miles. Also getting older so didn't want to do a change on my nice new concrete parking pad. So I ordered a filter, crush ring and a spare drain plug (not required but nice) and bought the oil locally at a discount store. A trip to the local quick lube place had me learning they do 4-5 Porsches a month. So they only take off $10 for me bringing my parts. Still lots cheaper than any mechanic/dealer would charge in total.
I do watch the whole process, get the old drain plug back in a baggie and remind them of the appropriate torque. I could have the filter back that way if I wanted it.
