No O'Reilly up here. Just autozone which regularly has the 5 for 25 deal but they toss in a free oil filter. On my last trip I lucked out and they had the Puraltor made in Germany so that was two free filters...although the price went up to $28.
I take the oil to a car wash that used to be a Mobil 1. $30 for the labor....I try and get them to let it drain for at least an hour.

are the right filters available for the box at o'reilly's? I'm thinking of using castrol in place of mobil 1 this go-round and this sale helps!

wondering if I can get the filter there too, or if I should let my Indy provide that?

Not sure, though I guess I'd be a little surprised if they had OEM Porsche filter elements. A year or so ago, I got one of the spin-on oil filter adapters and use Wix filters.
