Oil Changes from Above

I've got the lift but never tried it on the Boxster. It was great on our Yamaha FX cruisers, my Son's E46 3 series and I recently used it on our 2017 Santa Fe Sport.

I extracted some oil that way after accidentally over filling by about .25-.5 qt. It took forever and was definitely not worth the time. The tube had a couple bends/corners that took some wiggling to get past.

For a full oil change though, I like the idea of being able to drain out all of the dirt/crud that might sit at the bottom of the oil pan.

My understanding is the plastic lines get old and brittle through heat cycling and time. And can be a bit of a pain to replace. I would be very careful stuffing the pick up tube down into those.
