Example for the 996 with oil /filter change: Drive rear wheels onto 2"x12" boards, drop oil plug and oil, change filter. Back in business in no more than 30 minutes. Try that with the two-filter 993. Hydaulic lifters, so none of that valve adjustment stuff every 10-15K miles, although 993 also has hydraulic lifters).

996 has only 6 spark plugs instead of 12 in the 993 (but a couple of them are bears to get at). I spend far less time working on the 996 than I did on the 3.2. More time driving :-)
