Just accessing the filters on a 993 to see if the stealer really changed them is almost as much work as doing the whole oil change. And they're painted black anyway, so it's hard to write on them. Ditto for the spark plugs. Accessing intake #6 takes as long as changing the other 11. Who's gonna know if the stealer skips it? If you don't DIY, find a reputable indy you can really trust. They're out there. I don't get the credibility or gravitas people give to dealers. Their techs are usually kids, fresh out of vo-tech and factory training class. Indies all worked at dealers before and have so much more experience. I wouldn't own a modern car out of warranty, so I don't plan to ever have to ask the stealer for goodwill coverage.
