Hey Guys,

My 01 Boxster is up for the 30k service interval. I read a few posts on here and noticed that the dealer changes Oil and spark plugs and charges $900 for that.

I had my plugs replaced last year, (it was pouring and they went bust). The car probably had 25-26k on it then, so I am thinking I can avoid the plug change.

I just bought a Porsche Oil filter from suncoastmotors (for $15) and was planning to get an oil change from Jiffy Lube or something like that. Is that alright? Has anyone done that?

So, if I do that, I cut down on 1) Oil change 2) Spark Plugs. What else is done on this service?

I have to take my car in anyway, the driver's side door is making a rattling noise, its under the Porsche Extended warranty so I am not too worried about that.

Thank you
Khurram Zaveri
