Its a pick um!
The kit is nice because everything's together, but like Brucelee, I don't like the plugs in the kit and you don't need everything for the 30K service. I just ordered all of the parts separately and got the plugs locally. All of the parts in the kit are OEM Mahle except for the plugs so it's the same stuff the dealer has without the Porsche stamped on the box.

Like Tool Pants said, 60K for the fuel filter. It's a PIA to change it so it's not something you want to change if you don't have to.

After reading the forums Tool Pants mentioned, I'll be pulling my plugs out next weekend! I replaced them with the Bosch Platinum +4 and I don't want to take the chance of the tip melting. It has happened with 928s so I put original type copper plugs in it after hearing about it. I can't believe the Boxster does the same thing.

Thanks for the heads up Tool Pants!
