I jack up the passenger side rear lift point, put two pieces of 2x12 wood underneath, stacked, and then lower the jack. That provides enough room to drain the sump beneath the engine and the dry...

I just bought a Creader 7001 and it worked to reset the maintenance light on my 2013 Boxster S (981). It also worked on my 997.1 GT3.

I run 2.5 up front and tire wear is pretty reasonable. I used to have 3.5 and the inside edges would cord in less than 1000 miles. I’m not doing that again.
