Hi,
Not relevant to the 987, but I have corrected an Oil overfill in my 986 using a Mity-Vac w/ Brake Bleeder attachment and some narrow surgical tubing through the Dipstick Tube.
+1 w/ Tool Pants on overfill. Boxster Owners need to be less obsessive about keeping the Oil constantly topped up.
Each hashmark on the gauge represents about 8oz. or a Cup. Anything in the OK range is just that - OK. There is no More OK or Less OK so long as you're in the OK range.
With almost 10 Qts. of Oil in the Quasi-Dry Sump system, there's no chance of Oil Starvation in Normal driving so long as you remain in the OK range.
Obsessively trying to keep the Oil topped up is what causes so many frequent overfills. And remember, fill to the second Bar from the Top - the Top Bar is overfilled...
Happy Motring!... Jim'99
