Question Looking for 996 Oil Change FAQ/HowTo

A couple of years ago, I came across a filter change FAQ/HowTo for doing the basic oil and filter change on a 996. Did I miss it under the FAQ's page?

What method do you find to be the easiest regarding lifting the rear- Ramp or Jack?

I just got my car (purchased used) so I haven't had to lift it yet. They put it on the dealer rack to change the RMS and do the 15k service just last week. I always use ramps when I change my other cars (5 series wagon and volvo 850t) between scheduled services and I'm sure I'll try the ramps on the 996 in about 5k miles. I have bought the filters and ordered the filter wrench so I'm ready...

Question Where'd you order the wrench from?

What did you spend on the filter and wrench?
