Yes i am lame, Yes I know nothing about the Boxster except for I love to drive it. I am new to owning my 97. It is stored from Nov. to April. I am going to change the oil when it comes out of storage. I was going to use Mobile 1 0w40. After reading here. My thoughts are either Mutol 5w40 or Joe Gibb DT40.
The car is a sunday driver. never running with temperature below 32F/0C. Not driven like a race/track car.

I welcome input from one over the other.

You should have changed the oil before you put it away.

Do that. Or Mobil 5W50. Change every 5,000 miles.
