MY05 C2 6-sp. I am doing my first oil change this weekend and encountered the "oil level calibration" topic for the first time. I am unable to find detail on whether this is a DIY procedure or Porsche's way of discouraging DIY oil changes... 

 

I have not purchased a Duratec cable yet, I guess I am going to need this to reset the service indicator when it lights?

OK, I have got to ask where you keep reading these things.  The older 911's had an oil level recalibration procedure (964 and 993), but yours should not.
