I postponed my first 718 Boxster oil change till one year and 6K miles because it looked like a PITA based on all the posts I read, including jacking car at all corners and removing left rear wheel. Did mine today using only Rhino Ramps under the rears, and basic tools that I already had, with the exception of the low profile filter socket ($55 Suncoast) and a short length of old garden hose (to attach to the funnel outlet under the filter housing). I used the YouTube video "982 Cayman Oil Change" which shows a GTS with manual transmission, really well done video, all I needed to know, especially which bolts (4), plastic nuts (4) and Torex screws (6) to remove.

So if anybody is thinking this is a big job, it's not. Have at it.

Yup, plenty of room to pull out oil filter housing with manual tranny.

Anyone know if the same holds for the 4.0L engine with manual?

I'm guessing this is the video the OP speaks of?

Yup that's the one. Thanks for pulling up the link. Planning on doing this again next week.

Why do I get the sweats watching this guy's face staring at his undercarriage while the rear wheels rest on several 2x1s

For some this video could be helpful too. It's a GT4 but the main difference is less underbody removal.
