Oh I wish...Lucky guy, lucky u to work on one! Too many panels just for oil. Kinda like build a car for a 991.2 engine air filter - yes been there. Oil filter though is on top and much easier thank god. BTW it is super frustrating when Amz tells u it fits and it's the wrong pic or blantant mis information. I always cross reference several times with Pelican, Autozone, Porsche etc before buying. 5w-40 seems to the choice that a lot more P owners are going these days, my last was 0W-40, but thinking about the change now. Just a tip use the empty jug and pour the amt to quoted amt, then top up after running the engine and getting a level. That startup is a beast. Thx for sharing man!!

Looked this up as my brother is due for his first oil change… sure am glad I drive f250. No jack needed, no panels to remove. Crawl under it. Oil plug and oil filter. I’m done by the time he got the second panel off.

Great Video. My apologies if this was discussed, but it seems you can actually remove that last panel (the "engine panel", that gives access to oil plug and to filter) without removing the rear and middle panels first? It looks like there are only two fasteners from the middle panel that also overlap with the "engine" panel. If so, simply loosening those two fasteners, as well as all the fasteners in that "engine" panel, you could then slide it forward and expose the drain plug and filter? And then reverse the process?
