In fact, the center stud and the inner race of the bearing is immobile and constantly supplied by oil leaking into the gap between the bearing and the flange inside the bore in the crankcase, as shown on the picture. It`s hard to imagine such circumstances when oil can`t get there when the oil level is at least half way up to the top of the shaft.
Pedro has been working on Boxsters for a long time and where he says the oil is sitting at is probably correct.

Pedro started the injecting oil into the bearing deal with his "DOF" kit and Flat 6 Innovations changed over to injecting oil into the bearing with their "Solution" kit.

So with Flat 6 Innovation changing over to injecting oil into the bearing, I believe Pedro has merit to his claim.
