Great job! Thanks.

 

Where did you get the magnetic drain plug for $0.0 ??

 

For the last 5 years I have been able to change the oil & filter without the use of my ramps. I'm able to reach the filter by lying on my back & reaching in from the side of the car. The oil drain is reached by lying on my back & reaching in from the back of the car. For those that would have to work on a dirty surface lay down a piece of cardboard of a plastic tarp.

 

sorry it is a typo. i fixed that in main thread.

 

Here is a source @ $22.89:

fortunately, my driveway has enough incline that when i back into the Rhino ramp, the car is almost level.

 

do you need to reset on the dashboard?

 

To the OP: Why a K&N filter and why not an OEM filter?

 

Thanks...this is useful....How would this be different for a 997.2...Anyone?

 

Easier. Your filter is on the top of your engine bay.

 

Mine is 2006 MY. nothing to reset. no service due messages on the dashboard. i believe it is introduced in later versions.

 

nothing particular. K&N are known as better filters. sometimes they are rated higher than OEMs. hence i replaced both AIR & OIL filters with K&N brand.

 

Thanks for the posts, Not sure on the choice of going K&N for the oil filter, but realistically it isn't going to make much of a difference.

 

i heard the K&N core uses resin-treated paper whereas the OEM filter has plain paper media. Based on that Resin-treated media lasts longer and offers better filtration than plain paper. i may be wrong.

 

Interesting, I'd have to agree with that statements. K&N it is. Thanks!
