I'm sure that this question has been asked before... I did a couple searches with no luck. I'd like to change my oil filter without changing my oil. Have you done this on your 997? Comments?

Sure, why not?  When you change the filter, you only lose the oil in the canister, which is less than a liter, so be prepared to top it up.

The only reason would be if the top of the filter is below the crankcase oil level. Better to ask than be surprised I think.

We have changed the filters without any problems.
