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.
