I changed the oil & filter today. You wont get the filter off without a filter wrench. I bought one 75mm 14 flute wrench from O'Reilly's auto parts part # 19903 $5.99

They stock it in store.

Pulled the filter paper apart to inspect for metalic (magnetic) particles with none present except for a few flakes of aluminum.

Magnetic particles would be a concern as it is an indication of bearing wear.

I also installed the magnetic oil drain plug.

You should come to an autocross at Qualcomm, and meet the gang.
I also highly recommend the Porshe performance driving school at qualcomm.
