Default Where is my 2010 GT3 main oil drain plug?

Love my new 2010 GT3. But,where is the main oil drain plug? I found the easy one, the accessory pan I guess, that gives you maybe three quarts, and the filter is seriously easy compared to my 993. But, where is the main drain plug? Also, if the only safe jacking points are in front of the rear wheels, and behind the front wheels, if I am using one of those for the floor jack lift site, where do I put a jackstand? (Since I am already using the only safe jack point for the floor jack.)

Water-cooled newby.

Ashamed in Louisville.

Default More on oil change

As far as the washers for and aft on the plastic shaft, are there pics of this? It seems as if from farthest to nearest the filter cover cap, it is:

small washer closest to engine and front of car
filter
large washer
filter cover cap closest to engine bay hood and back of car.


Is this correct?

The o-rings will come out and you will see where they go upon disassembly.

if by "washer" you mean o rings.
the big o ring comes with the filter.
the little o ring is a separate part number.
