This is not a mod or hack. It is just a basic oil change instruction. It is best if done with a left.

Tools and material:
8mm hex wrench
new replacement oil filter
9.25 quart of synthetic oil

01. Lift the car up high enough so you can get to the oil pan.

02. Use an 8mm hex wrench to remove the drain bolt. Make sure that you have a descent size container to hold the used oil.

03. Let the oil drain until the pan is empty. This may take 15 to 20minutes. Remove the oil filter cup to replace the filter.

04. Remove the oil filter and replace it with a new one. Replace the rubber seal and re-install the filter cup. Wipe the oil pan clean and screw the drain bolt back on. You may reuse the aluminum seal for the drain bolt, but it is recommended to have that replaced as well. I had to reuse mine because some stupid service guy at CARLSEN PORCH gave me the wrong smash ring even though I specifically asked for it for the Boxster.

05. Lower the car and open the trunk to fill up with 9.25 quart of Mobile synthetic oil.
