Can someone tell me definitively what two tools are needed to remove the drain and fill bolts on a 2000 Boxster S with a 6-speed trans?

I've got the 16mm triple square with the hole and a 17mm allen. I've heard there may be a different tool I need.

Additionally, where the 17mm allen is needed, is there a clearance issue? I ask because the allen socket I have is about 4" long. If it's for the drain, no problem. If it's for the fill and the clearance is tight, I'll have to cut the allen tool shorter.
