Garage
I have eight vehicles. Five Toyota's, a FLHTC Harley, a '66 VW bug and the Boxster. I can tell you that besides the VW (drain 2.5 qt and refill) the Boxster is the easiest oil change I've worked on in 25+ years. The filter is super easy to get to and remove (fabric strap filter wrench). The sump and plug are right next to it and once drained just fill with 9 quarts of the good stuff.

Easy, peasy, Japanesey...you'll save money and become more in one with your car.

Thanks so much for your answer guys! I will avoid the dealer in that case and find a local mechanic that can be trusted.

I go to autozone, buy 9 bottles of synth and take them to some average mechanic who charges $17 to do the work. Total comes to about $90.
