Actually, we have done this on jack stands from time to time, a few times at Porsche gatherings where an "impromptu" tech session was held. We did it to demonstrate for the onlookers how it can be DIY'd. Only real difference was how long it took to get the car up on the stands and being on your back rather than your feet.......still, not that bad of a “backyard” project.

j/k... I have done it on stands and it's not that bad. Like many of the DIY tasks on the Boxster, the difficulty factor is often the product of actually getting to the work rather than the work itself.

But a handy, well placed petcock would make the job much easier, maybe even without having to raise the car at all.

I believe that is what the marketing folks call “mystique”……….
