Ok, I'm new to Porsche and haven't turned many wrenches on cars in my lifetime though I'm handy with DIY projects and tools and am a quick learner. If you experienced guys can help me out on this I won't bother you with too many more "basic" questions.

I've read the 964 manual on changing the oil and it reads like you have to open and drain two hex-head plugs, one on the crankcase and one on the thermostathousing. I've found the thermostathousing plug but haven't located the other yet - which leads me to my first question - do I need a set of "ramps" (sorry if I'm making you guys laugh) to get under the butt of my car - is this required to properly access the engine for an oil change or is it easy to just slide under the car to do the work? Feels kinda tight to me and I'm not a big guy...If I need ramps, can you recommend where to go?

It looks like I also need the drain plug washers, which the host sells but the info says I need (3) and I only know about the two plugs - what am I missing?

Wrenches - do you guys use a standard socket or wrench or do I need to go find torque wrenches to tighten the plugs correctly? Let me know if I can get this stuff here...

In response to John Walker's response above - can I drain the quart of extra oil from the thermostahousing plug or just the crankcase plug? Also, should I put a fresh washer on when I tighten it back up?

Sorry for the newbie questions - I don't mind getting my hands dirty and am reasonably mechanically inclined - I just don't want to do something stupid to my Porsche as I'm a new owner.
