DIY for 958 V6 oil/fiter and spark plug change?

Location of the drain plug and filter are different on the V6. From experience the procedure is very similar to the Touareg procedure shown at the link:

I just did a spark plug change on my CTT.
Not sure if it will help specific to a v6, but it cannot hurt.
Overall, it was pretty straightforward.
You got to have the right tools and go slow.
i will put the DIY together in the next few days if time allows.

Yikes.
The pictures almost makes it look as if the individual forgot to drain the oil FIRST,
Before, removing the filter. Otherwise, i don't see how it could ever be that bad.
Regardless, the pics above should NOT scare off the DIY'er interested in changing their own oil.
That is very a-typical in my book.

no offense, but have you changed the oil yourself in a cayenne before? if you have, i would love to see a video of how you can stay clean during the filter change. changing oil in cayenne is no different then changing oil in a honda or ford. it's just the location of the filter housing makes it messy. it's not hard. it would be easier if you have a lift and more room to put a small pan under it.
this is a poor design. the mercedes oil filters is accessed from the top. you open the top and pull the drained filter out. i can wear a tux to change the oil and filter without getting a drop on me.

Ah, yes. i've changed my own oil/filter on my CTT over the last 30k miles.
I guess i will have to take pics/video next time.
I don't think i got more than my fingers with a little oil.
Maybe the difference between the V6 and the v8, idk.
Sorry, didn't mean to offend in my previous post.

On the v6 it's pretty tight quarters under there where the oil filter is located. Even after draining the housing, it can make a mess. This guy in the photos below had it on a lift and still had considerable amount of oil splatter. I made a big mess the first time and got better with subsequent changes. But its not nearly as clean as changing the oil on my 997.2. Paper towels are at least cheap.

Good god i feel for you now.
Even the v6 diesel was super easy.
You could change the oil filter without changing the oil (i did that around 500 miles after new).
Additionally, the oil filter was easily accessible from above.
Now that was nice!
