Thanks. I'll look into the surgical tubing.
Both the Porsche dealerships are 40-50 miles from my home plus scheduling and wait.
The real kicker here is that I am spending $200 at an alternate Porsche dealer to do LOF at a 5000 mile interval (vs 20,000 spec) for a warm fuzzy that my car is in top shape.
After this LOF, this dealer tells me their policy is to simply add 9 qts vs the 8.2 quart spec /with filter changeout. This is showing overfill on my electronic register.
By contrast, my original servicing dealer's policy is to add only 8 quarts followed by any additional oil after the engine is run and the oil level checked.
They're concerned that some oil may stay in the system making it .8 qts overage plus the unaccounted for residual engine oil.
This is why a simple way (extractor) to remove any oil overfill seems like an attractive idea.
