Baptism complete! Thanks to everyone's input I survived my first 911 oil change with minimal mess. I can't find who to give credit to but the description of the oil draining like a "cow pissing on a flat rock" was spot on.

I ended up going with the Valvoline VR-1 oil and Mahle oil filter. Also, I replaced the tires and went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports.

So, she is ready for the road. . . . . now if only the weather will cooperate!

Thanks again for all the help and advice.

Cheers!

Hey, that sounds like my setup, same oil and same tires until they discontinued the 245/50/16s.

Ahhh...The flatrock analogy. Somehow stuck with me over the years. An old guy saw me pull the tank-plug on a 911 and made that comment. He was standing around the shop for some reason and was watching me change the oil on a 964('89-'94 911).
