Just did oil change on pdk car yesterday, wow, it was a nightmare, i had all the tools and ramps but the headlight sensor has to be loosened and filter cover only can come out in certain way. I see manual has more space to work on, but not on pdk cars. I even had to turn the driveshaft to make extra inch of a space to get filter housing out. It took me a whole hour start to finish. I may take it to the dealer next time around.

Changed the oil yesterday on my manual GTS, what a pita compared to my 981S. Biggest issue was the oil filter access and getting it off/break free. I do like the filter oil catch, hooked up a hose so no oil bath. The 981 was always a mess when taking the filter canister out.
