To change the transmission fluid in a Porsche Boxster, lift the car so you can remove the drain plug from the oil pan, which is located at the rear bottom of the vehicle. By loosening the plug, you can collect all the used fluid in a properly positioned container.

Once the fluid has drained out, you can refill it using a hose and a pump. The fluid should be added through the fill hole, which is also located at the bottom of the vehicle, until the correct amount has been inserted.
