I want to get this sorted out before I order parts, tools, etc., so a few questions:

Does the car need to be level to properly change the oil and filter, or can the rear end be up on low profile ramps with a 7 1/2" lift?

If it has to be level & I don't have a lift, is there enough room under the car to remove the drain plug & filter? (I'm doing this laying on my back under car.)

If it can be up on the low profile ramps, do you get complete drainage?

Thanks

Hi,

I did mine on my sloping driveway. The front was higher then the back and I am sure that I got all eight quarts out of it. I used two catch pans. I did not have to lift the car. The oil filter is close to the drain plug. The Porsche oil filter is a seperate filter. The filter will also need a new o-ring. Also get a new washer

for the drain plug. Add seven quarts and drive the car around the block. Then add oil as needed. Do not

over fill the oil.
