 Paul,
  I feel the same way, I change my own oil and ever since owning my Boxster I love having the ability to inspect the pleats for contamination.  If people want to strap magnets to the outside of the housing I suggest using magnets from old computer hard drives.  They're so powerful you can put a set on each side of your hand and they'll stay there.
