Jerry, now that I know the steps involved I suspect I could do it all in 30 or 40 minutes. And that counts getting it on the lift. It is around 15 torx screws to remove, and two large clips that pop off with the door clip tool. Then drain the oil with a screwdriver. I spent 10 minutes looking for the oil filter, and now I know where it is. On some Macans it is on the bottom, on this one it is on top, under a cover that pops off and is held in place with four rubber mounts, kinds like a 911 steering wheel horn center pad. Then remove the cover with the 32 mm socket, and remove the filter and replace the o-ring.

Again, it took me longer to figure out the Autel USB2 tool than to reset it. It read the VIN automatically and I reset the oil warning for 12 months out.

Getting the bottom engine cover back on is not as difficult as I feared. Just slip the front under the three tabs and get one screw in the middle of the cover screwed on with my fingers. That keeps it in position to screw in the rest of the screws and the two clips.

Filling the oil is slow and there is a piece of plastic that covers 1/2 the oil fill hole, so I had to use a small funnel. It would be interesting to find out why there is a piece of plastic to restrict the size of the funnel. I can guess it is to keep from dumping in the oil too fast and causing it to not drain down to the pan fast enough.

Overall it was a fairly easy task, and I don't think I could change the oil and filer in my 85 911 much faster. It was easier than replacing the defrost heater in my old refrigerator a few weeks back.
