2014 Cayman drain plug tool?
So the dealer said "if you're going to change your oil, buy the correct tool". Here's what I'm seeing. Does anyone have a name for the bit or a part number?

8mm allen key or socket, make sure you push it all the way in.
to remove oil enclosure you need a 74mm oil wrench, you can them cheap at amazon or ecs tuning.
dont forget to replace washer and oil the rubber seal.;-)

8mm allen will eventually strip it. That's what I used until an over-fill situation forced me to take it to the dealer. There's got to be a special tool for correct fitment.

Okay. I'll try a better socket. I got called out on another forum for questioning the 8mm fitment but the plug appears to have a different pattern to me. Perhaps a call to the Porsche service department is in order. After all, they're the ones that said I was using the wrong tool

Confirmed 8mm hex tool is the correct tool from the certified Porsche mechanic. Apparently my techniques are sub-par or my bit is toast. End of discussion.

Here is the best German oil filter socket:
And here is a good quality German bit (3/8" drive 8mm hex) for the drain plug that won't round (recommended to change drain plug frequently as added precaution - they are cheap; and crush washer every time):

Also, the torque spec for the filter is 25Nm (18.4 ft-lbs) and the drain plug is 50Nm (37 ft-lbs)
