Hi

First post and it's a numpty question.

My wife has just bought an ex-demo 2.7 Boxster (987) from an OPC here in the UK. I paid for an engine oil and filter change as part of the purchase.

I'm finding that the dealer hasn't attended to other things on the car as agreed and I'm wondering how I can check whether the oil and filter really has been changed.

One thought I had - have a look at the condition of the oil filter - if it's shiny and new then maybe it's been done. Not definitive I know but short of an oil analysis I don't see anything further I can do.

Question - how do I get to the oil filter? From above? From below?

Thanks in advance.
