Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, I've got the oil, got the pump, now I just need verification for what size / type allen wrench to have before jacking the car up and getting started. Looking for drain hole and fill hole sizes. I have a 2002 Boxster S 6 speed. Renntech DIY calls for 17mm allen and 16mm triple square with hole in the middle. Posts from Kirk state 10mm allen only needed. Anyone have the final answer? Thanks in advance.....Mark.

POST 3Original post

Make sure you're able to open the filler plug before draining. Just a precaution.
