There is always oil left in any system. I could have lowered the car down easily, but the drain plug is to the front of the pan so in my mind it would get a better drain vs flat. I don't personally feel all the old oil has to come out, I've never had a car or truck or motorcycle fail due to oil systems not being fully drained and I doubt anyone has. On the old 993 series it was classified as "air-cooled" when in reality it was oil-cooled. That car had oil passages running all the way up to the front of the car for cooling and then back to the sump in the engine, there was no way you could ever get the oil all the way out in that 10 quart system. 992's have 8 liters or 8.5 quarts as the factory spec, so it relies on some oil cooling as well when you have that kind of capacity. There may be around a quart left in the engine on any oil change is my guess. If you read through this thread Blue Highways put in over 10 quarts on his, I did around 7.5 qts. on mine..
So, I jacked one side, pulled the drain plug, then let it drain while flat on the ground for about 30-40 min while I was replacing the filter. I measured out 8.6 quarts and replaced with the same. No problems and the oil level displays perfectly full

For any others like me that already has the Autel MK808 and the software update subscription has lapsed -- looks like they are currently doing $50 discount on a 1 year renewal. Sale is Nov 16-25.
Comes out to $100 after the discount. I'll buy the renewal later this week as my 1 year oil light actually just came on.

No need for the scanner. The car did on its own and then the driver to confirm after 15-min driving. Changed out to the winter tires on my 2022 Cayenne.

No once you download, you are good with the 992. The only way you would need to pay more/again - would be if you buy the next version of the 911 - then you would have to wait for it to be included in a SW update, and pay for the 1 year subscription again to get that new version...

(That was my scenario: I bought my Autel MK808BT back in 2018 for my Macan and it did not support resetting the maintenance light on the 992, as that is well after my final/free 2019 software update.)
