I just changed my oil. It had only been about 5,000 miles but almost two years. I just don't drive my car enough!!! Any way, the oil was nasty - pretty ugly looking. I'm definitely going to stick with changing it every year and would recommend the same for you.

If you do it yourself it's not so god-awful expensive. Plus check around, when I got my oil a month ago Autozone had a deal on Mobil 1, where if you bought 5 quarts you got them at a discount and got a FREE Mobil 1 oil filter. Now they don't make a Mobil 1 oil filter for the Boxster, but maybe they make one for another car you own. So I got 10 quarts of Mobil 1 for like $60 and then two free oil filters for my SUV.
