Yes. My Boxster S takes 9.30 quarts. You of course need to buy 10 to get that 0.30 of a quart. Definitely buy a high quality (OEM) oil filter and the 20 cent crush ring for the drain plug. The 0W40 Mobil 1 is supposedly to allow the oil to flow much more quickly on a cold start. You know what they say, that first start is where all the wear occurs when your cylinder walls are dry from the car sitting and the oil all running back into the pan. Also reduces valve train noise per the PCA Q&A Tech section.
