Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just eased into a lease on a Y2K 996 with 7500 mi. Salesman said first service is at 15K, but I think I'd like to freshen the oil now. How to lift? Easy? I've done all manner of cars, would just like to hear from someone who has done the dirty deed.
Easy. Raise passenger rear of car with lift <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" /> have a beer! Thyen crawl under and undo drain plug with allen wrench (make sure you have a 9-12 quart drain pan under! <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" /> have another beer <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" /> when it is barely dripping undo oil filter these are cartridge type so you need an insert. clean and insert new cartidge (apply bead of oil to gasket)screw back on. Plug drain plug using new aluminum gasket. Let car down. Fill with 0W40 Mobil one OR whatever grade you prefer ,require etc. I use 5W30 in winter. 9 quarts. Check for leaks etc GO! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
