how can I change my own oil? any specific way to do it or just like a regular car. In my 99 boxter, i still have yellow lights...i want to change them to superwhite? how and which ones should i put in?
I heard piaa is good. Help please!!!!!!!

 

Just like any other car, except there is a plastic cannister for the filter.

Remove the cannister, relpace the filter element, and O-ring on the cannister. With a 10 quart drain pan under the car.

Remove the drain plug and let oil drain. Replace plug with new crush ring.

Fill with oil. Jeff

 

Be careful most after market bright lights produce too much heat . The light housings on your car are plastic and most of the after market lights will melt the plastic housing.

 

I read similar about any aftermkt bulb over 55w. There are other xenon-emulating bulbs that are 55w which you can find all over eBay.

Excellent post, Jeff!

These 2 tq.specs were also helpful for me:
Drain plug: 37 ft-lbs
Filter housing: 18 ft-lb

not to hijack this thread, but where can I get a quality filter wrench? I broke the crappy Advanced Auto one last time trying to undo housing even with PB Blaster

 

Pep Boys has an oil filter wrench that works perfectly.
