As of January 2001 Porsche said the factory fill is 0W-40. The car is sold around the world and people get hung up on using that weight no matter where they live or the time of year.
I live in San Jose and have a 1997. The only oil that has been in the car is 15W-50. This was an approved oil for years but now it is off the list. Porsche comes out with a new approved oil bulletin about once a year. My dealer use to use 15W-50 but now they follow the company line and use 0W-40.
What oil to use has been debated to death. With all the engine failures you have heard about I have never heard of one related to oil.
The Boxster already has over 9 quarts of oil. I was on a BMW board and read some messages about putting in an extra quart. I do not know any Boxster owners who do this.
