If you still have the plastic cup + cylindrical paper filter, I would suggest that, at your next filter change, replace the plastic cup with a spin-on filter adapter. Even when not excessively tightened, it tends to stick to the block so tightly that most cap-type oil filter wrenches will ‘cam over’ before the cup will let go. IMHO that plastic cup thing is the worst thing Porsche ever put out, rivaling the immobilizer- box-below-the-seat fiasco.
I found that the best-fitting oil filter wrench is the one marketed by Craftsman, of all things, better than the several European tools I have. Alas, the cups tend to stick so tightly to the block that it takes, I estimate, 200 ft-lbs, yes, 200, to get them off. Afterward, the cap wrench is stuck so tightly to the cup that it cannot be removed from it. I’ve got three of them to show for it. Of course, your mileage may vary.
