The Boxster holds 10 quarts of oil, so that's 2.5 gallons...

I bought my crush washers from Sunset Porsche. I bought half a dozen or so just to have some on hand. You can reuse yours for now. Just the next time you put in an order on-line for something from Pelican, Autohauz, Suncoast, Sunset, etc. have them throw in the washers. They're cheap and you'll save not having to pay shipping just for the washers.

I'd check out that plug too and be careful when removing it. Mine was totally frozen in the pan and stripped by the PO. I had to drop the whole pan and drill the drain plug out! This is precisely the reason why I do my own work on my car!!!
