Default Spyder oil change: How to etc.

My Spyder is due. Since there's no Bentleys for the 2nd gen, I want to double check. Pedro's has this:

http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_3/C...26_Filter.html

And states that it applies to all Boxsters/Caymans.

Anything else I need for the oil change? Anything else I need to attend to while I'm under there? At 30k miles.

Here's a dealership maint form:

Thanks!

Looks good to me except that you'll find that 10 quarts is too much and will result in overfill. In my Cayman R, I put in 8 quarts and warm it up by driving gently. Then I add from the 9th quart until next to full line is reached on the display. When the engine is really hot, the display will read full. Too bad you're not closer to me as my maintenance bay over my lift is now empty because my car is still being put back together at Europro.
