Can't find a DIY for oil change anywhere

hi folks,

we have had our car a year and only put about 6k miles on it, so it's time to change the oil. I just called both local dealers.....$180. There is just no way I can pay that for 6(?) quarts of M1 and a filter???? in this case, the Porsche premium is just too much.

I have searched endlessly trying to find a DIY guide for oil and filter change on a 986 S within the forum. I have seen bits and pieces like what allen wrench to use, and the type of filter wrench, etc.

but I have never owned a Porsche before(where's the motor, anyway? )

I assume you roll the back end onto ramps?

surely someon has put this together? since I could not locate one, it got me to thinking that changing your own oil in a boxster is NOT a good idea?

thanks for the help.....
