I have a Mityvac extractor that I used to use on my bimmers. It was great. I would get the engine up to operating temp and extract all the oil out without fear of scalding myself. The oil filter was easily accessed since it was on top. Oil changes couldn't have been easier.

But like TP says, I don't think it'll work for the Boxster. The dipstick on the Box is 20 miles long. Plus, you still have to crawl under to get to the filter so there's not too much benefit.

Interestingly, it didn't work on my friend's GMC Denali either due to the dipstick tube having a crimp somewhere along the path. But when it works, it works well.
