Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The oil pan it ran into has been used for everything...one of those that traps the oil and you pour it out....no telling what is in the crevices and bottom.

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.

The oil pan it ran into has been used for everything...one of those that traps the oil and you pour it out....no telling what is in the crevices and bottom. I need to actually find a new oil pan....this one almost runs over as the oil is draining from my Boxster

And no mention of or questioning oil weight or brand?????
Just do what my dad did when I was a kid. Dig a hole and pour the oil in and it magically vanishes back into the oil reserves.
This is my 3rd oil change in 2 years, always Mobil 1 European formula
As for the Hex Key it is 8mm and I have never had a problem...19 foot pounds with my torque wrench and no leaks (new washer every time)
I kinda like this one
