I can't drive my Turbo up on the Rhino ramps either in the front or back without first driving up on some 2x6s...the car is too low. For elevating the back, it is easier to jack it up and put jack stands in.

As I collect my parts, I may lean on you a bit. I don't think that this is that hard, but it's the first time I'm crawling under my turbo, and I am a bit nervous. Just enough to keep me straight, I hope.

Everything is listed right down to the part numbers and torque values in my DIY that is a sticky at the top of the forum.

Shoot me a PM anytime you are ready and I'd be happy to help. Heck, I can even set up a video chat in the garage to walk you through it visually.

Happy Motoring..........

Oh yeah.

I placed/positioned the ramp based on my ramp positioning experience with my Boxster. But the Turbo has much wider rear tires and well, the Turbo rear tires were hanging on the ramp by their fingernails.

Sincerely,

Macster.

I just drop by the dealer and ask for an oil change kit. They have everything packaged; filter, washers, o-ring. I never need part numbers or a parts list.

Hopefully they gave you the filter, a copper washer for the tank, three aluminum crush washers, 1 for the crankcase and 2 for the turbos, and one "O" ring for the filter cartridge. Some dealers skip the "o" ring and some also skip the turbo washers.

The bigger o-ring (at least the way I receive it) comes in the box the filter is in.
