I appreciate your help. There is little info on this on the web.

It's a shame that an extractor oil removal approach doesn't sound like it will work. They are pretty inexpensive.

I understand this is the technique MB uses to actually remove the oil during service thier cars. It looks alot cleaner.

Mercedes does do it this way, but the engine set up is different than a Boxster. We fill up in the trunk via a long corregated tube that snakes around to the crankcase.

If you have this thing then give it a try. Don't know anyone who has tried on a 987. But a 987 is like a 986 except for the dipstick. Would also like to see someone try this on a 2007 because the oil fill port changed to be like a Cayman.
