It`s hard to imagine such circumstances when oil can`t get there when the oil level is at least half way up to the top of the shaft.

Pedro has been working on Boxsters for a long time and where he says the oil is sitting at is probably correct.
Pedro started the injecting oil into the bearing deal with his "DOF" kit and Flat 6 Innovations changed over to injecting oil into the bearing with their "Solution" kit.
So with Flat 6 Innovation changing over to injecting oil into the bearing, I believe Pedro has merit to his claim.
