Tried a search, but no luck. What's the reasonable range for an '06 Carerra?

Thanks.

probably anywhere from $100-250.
169 is pretty fair, considering a diy should cost you around $60 (9 quarts of mobil 1 and oil filter).

I just did my first P car oil change (997S). I got the oil filter wrench and some filters before hand so I was ready. Man that was easy. I don't think I even got dirty. Of course the new car lift and oil catcher funnel made a big difference . That was the easiest oil/filter change I've ever done! I was expecting something more difficult seeing what the dealers charge.

I'd LOVE to do it myself. Working on my Porsche would make me feel pretty cool I'm not overly mechanical, but I'm not an idiot either. You guys are making it sound pretty easy. Does anyone have a link that includes everything I would need? Including tools/equipment?

Just came back from a nice drive. Feeling blessed to own one of these.

we charge $200, and that seems to be the going rate for us and the few other dealerships around us

cheers

On Long Island they seem to feel that $300 is fair. For that I get a 1/2 qt overfill. Must be a sign on my back. Going indie this time for $160. Gmab.
