Brilliant idea! If only they still have a dipstick tube, you can use a fluid extractor, which they use for Audis. Then again, you have to differentiate a Porsche. Thanks for sharing
the reason for not having a hole there is to make you take the pan off and clean up any leaking oil and to verify if anything else is leaking, you do not want any liquids accumulating on the top of the pan...
Michael, Great video! I want to do this project. You said you drilled a 4.5" hole. I have looked online for a 4.5" marine access panel but only seem to find 4" and 6". Where did you purchase you access panel from? Thank you!
I took out the front screws that hold it onto the car and was able to bend it down with the back screws still on. I marked where the panel meet the drain plug with a red pencil mark. I also measured with a tape measure to double check.
