JCL12.. what year is your Boxster? As you learned, your 45K service is nothing more than a bunch of inspections, plus an oil/filter change. 5/30 will not kill your motor. Relax, and next time be sure to choose one of the better viscosities for your new climate and driving needs.

Have you looking into independent shops? There are several in the area (IMA, ASG, Intersport and Autobahn all come quickly to mind and I know there are a few others) and likely no farther for you than a stealership.
