I don’t think that size fits. 997 plug size is 18mm. Try this one maybe?

I looked at the pics of my car for comparison, but I run the MantisSport deep sump and it doesn't have the same recess the OEM sump plate does.

I am bumping this back up -
I do about 3k miles per year in my 997.1 C2 - I always change oil before winter storage (usually mid-October). Car sleeps with clean oil, but then usually I change the oil when I get the car out of storage too, for a total of two oil changes per year. I often see people mention that every six months is the longest they'd go between oil changes, but if the car is literally sitting with clean oil in it, is it dumb to do a second change in spring?

Ok! So for a "typical" 997 owner in areas where you get snow/winter and don't drive due to salt, I'm calling it now best practice - do an oil change before storage, and do your next oil change next time before storage.
