$126 for the oil and a $126 labor.

Thanks for the links guys
More,
You can change your own oil for about $60 (just need to order filter and crush washer on line - here in the States I used Pelican Parts. Also got my oil from Walmart - Mobile 1 $26 for 5 quart bottle, times 2 - you need about 10 qts)
It's actually very easy, I did mine and it only took about half hour. Here is another link for you. Give it a try yourself next time, if you've ever changed oil in a car, the boxster is actually very easy.

Thanks JC.

I'm hoping to buy the ramps in the video pretty soon I found some on Amazon but they don't ship out to Australia.
