I am a Porsche mechanic. There is no need to remove the engine cover to change the oil in a Porsche 987 Cayman. Always remove the drain plug before the oil filter. Always remove the drain plug first then open the oil filler cap or the oil will come gushing out; leave the filler cap open and wait at least 15 minutes for all the oil to drain as flat six engines take longer to drain. Always inspect the old oil filter and oil for metal shards which could be a sign of a serious problem. Using a hydraulic "Quick Lift" at home is way better than trying to set your Porsche onto the four factory lift points using a floor jack and lift stands. It is extremely difficult to line up the jack stands under the lift points evenly specifically because a floor jack lifts vertically while moving horizontally as well. Even if you lower the car slowly and continue to re-position your jack stands under the lift points they won't sit evenly when the load increases because of the horizontal movement. If you cannot afford a hydraulic lift the only real solution is to use four scissor jacks (2-ton minimum) at each lift point. They have no horizontal movement and, as long as you lift each one incrementally, you won't have any tilt to deal with. Once you're at the desired height use jack stands at the frame members as a safety measure.
