Default DIY GT3 oil change

Has anyone tried to do their own oil change on a GT3? Is there a second oil filter near the oil drain plug as in the 997?

There are 2 drain plugs and one oil filter. Allow engine to drain for 20 mins and be sure to use correct torque on oil filter housing. Lube the "O" ring on the oil filter housing with silicone grease to make it easier to remove next time. The drain plugs use different gaskets so be sure not to get them mixed up.
FYI 996/7's only have one oil filter.

Here's a GT3-specific Oil Change DIY (996, but I think 997 is the same):
