I have to admit ignorance on how to do even simple maintenance on this car when you can't see the motor. Can anyone give some instruction on how to access the motor without dropping it out?
Hi Alex, it's actually pretty easy. You can get to the engine by putting the convertible top about 3/4 the way up, then you have to disconnect a couple of cables that hold the back of the top down, which then swings up and reveals the engine cover. Changing the air filter is pretty easy and will only take you a couple of minutes. Here is a good video on how to do it: Porsche Boxster S - 986 Remove Engine Cover - Replace Air Filter RiversidePCA How To - YouTube

quick and easy!
