Moving neither left, right, forward, nor backwards and most definitely not moving down while on fire… my Wife’s Spyder was not on the Felicity Ace.

Does the bumper need to come off to change oil? I haven’t done it yet but I thought the bumper had to come off for plugs and air filter.

Edit: I just noticed the Race Ramps, does the incline help to evacuate the oil? Don’t have those.

Your wife is a lucky woman, getting a Spyder and married to an orange connoisseur...what more could she want.

My wife knows exactly how she feels, just look at that smile...

No, bumper doesn't have to come off for an oil change, just the center and right covers under the hood plus fans.

Installed new interior door sills this week as the existing ones were getting very marked up from shoes/heels.
I don't remember this problem in the 991 3RS or even any of my other Porsches.
Huh!

Nice. Your wife and mine have the same taste when it comes to the color choices for their convertibles.

Real men pull the engine to change the oil.

LoL. A phrase from the 928 forum.

It appears that if you’re not following the workshop manual steps, yes that makes it easier. (It’s also not clear that following the workshop manual steps makes it easier.)

Nope. Spoiler assembly needs to come off. Bumper cover stays on.

Maybe so but your wife went for substance while mine just went for looks...

I'm just really happy it's Friday; I've had enough this week and just want to drive.

No it doesn't need to come off at all, I just had it off prior due to other work. Everything went back on smoothly.

I've heard that the race ramps do help tilt the front forward which is where the drain plug is located and that it does help get some more oil out. I let it drain for 3 hours and got about 8 quarts out of it.

What's super annoying right now is checking the oil level. Display shows unavailable. I've gone through multiple ignition cycles and driven about 30 miles. Oil level still "unavailable".
