For $30 he probably drains the oil fills it and sells the filters on ebay.

Anyone else know it?

I will post eventually(maybe)
Since no one knows or cares

the trick is to raise the rear of the car a few inches when adding new oil, it then flows nicely down the filler tube

Really???

If I'm level on stands, how much more do you want me to jack the rear up (I assume the 993 fills the same as the 964)...

This would be neat if so; new fill tries my patience as much as anything I ever do - anywhere.

Is this true or are you kidding? I'm going to try it by having the Porsche backed into my driveway next time. The slight slope to the street should do the trick.

I'm not kidding, all you have to do is raise the rear of the car a little bit, the oil goes right down the tube w/o any muss or fuss
