My new 01 base 986!

thanks for the tip about the ramps. How hard is it to get under to change the oil with a 6.5" high drain pan, without a lift?

With ramps like in the picture above? Pretty easy. I have done mine that way a couple of times. I like to have the car as level as possible because it helps me feel like I am getting more of the old oil out My driveway slopes down just a little bit so I back the car down the slope and up onto the ramps which levels the car, and there is plenty of room to change the oil.

If you are asking if you can change the oil without ramps or lifting the car - maybe a more athletic person could but I can't...

I was definitely talking about without the ramps.
