Here is the Owner's Manual. This is for a 2007 Carrera but it is the same as the 2008. You will also need a copy of the PCM manual but I don't have an electronic copy of that one.

Here's one you all probably know...
I learned that a $5 oil filter removal tool, 76mm and 14 flats will do the same work that a ~$40-$60 Porsche Filter removal tool.

I'm reminded of two young lieutenants who happened to be in a public restroom at the same time. As they zipped and started to leave, the first turned to the sink, muttering: "Huh. At West Point, they taught us to wash after peeing." As he opened the door, the other responded: "At Annapolis, they taught us not to pee on our hand."
In the Mojave, we lower our windows before we leave the car so it never gets that hot in the first place.

The young man rinsing his hands at the sink says to the other, " At Harvard we wash out hands after we pee". The other young man says, "At Yale we wash our hands BEFORE we pee."
> always loved that joke!

Q: Why is the ignition/key on the left side of the steering column?
A: It was strategically placed there for racing at LeMans in the early days of Porsche... The driver would run to the car, reach for the gear shift with the right hand, and put the key in the ignition with the left...
Not specific to the 997, but trivia nonetheless....
