I'm used to doing this on other cars, BUT the Boxster has long PS lines going up and back from the front of the car. The factory manual says capacity for the PS system is 1.0 liter (of Pentosin CHF 11 S). But I was only able to suck out and refill 20 cc of fluid from the PS reservoir today. That's only 2% of the system. At this rate a dozen repeats of suck and refill may only change about 20% of the fluid.
Is there any trick to getting more than 20 cc out of the reservoir? I used a large syringe with a clear vinyl tube extension.
