I don't believe that the TSB Boxster 2/99 1701 1 has ever been superceded by a later one, though I may be wrong - I don't have a current revised PET.

A downward revision would seem unlikely though.

This TSB lists capacity as:

Effective immediately, the new filling capacities should be used on all Boxsters, retroactively, until further notice. Please correct your Technical Manual accordingly.
  • Oil change without filter - 8.5 liters (9 quarts), formerly 7.75 liters

    Oil change with filter - 8.75 liters (9.25 quarts), formerly 8.25 liters

This TSB also notes:

A draining time of 20 minutes is required to attain the proper oil level.
Always confirm oil level by checking the dipstick.
