			Changed the oil in the Boxster; this is only the second time in my life I've changed oil; the first time was helping my son a few weeks ago in his Miata. 
 
Impressions: man that oil comes out fast!!! 
 
It was a lot more turns on the oil filter housing than I thought it would be to get it off. And it was on tight! I torqued it back to 19 ft/lbs. 
 
Put in an LN Magnetic Oil Drain plug and torqued it to 19 ft/lbs oer the little sticker that came on it. After tightening it finger tight; 19 ft/lb was barely a turn of the wrench. I sure hope I did it right. 
 
9 quarts of Castrol5w40 Full Synthetic "with Syntec" 
 
I have saved the filter and will cut it open first chance I get; I am headed to a bday party for my girlfriend's 13 (soon to be 14) yr old daughter!
