Only armor plated cups fit in the cup holder.
303 Fabric Guard for the top.
Oil change? it all depends on the depth of your pocket and how much you want to baby the engine. See the Owners Manual for full details.
Or use search, as I did for the Fabric Guard.

Cup Holder: 12 oz Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Cardboard cup fits perfect
As stated, 303 for fabric tops
I see no problem changing the oil as per FSS

I would not recommend a styrofoam cup. Use cardboard which is the smallest size at DD's. All this from a confirmed unrepentant coffee junkie.

The car is from Germany so I think it was designed for a can

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT put a styrofoam cup in that cup holder. Those side clamps are like fangs and will cause a mess.
