I just spent $685 on my 30,000 miles service thru a local Porsche mechanic. Dealer charges $850 for the same job. Such Maintenance is required for every 30,000 miles. If you are handy, you can do it yourself and it costs you only $150 for the oil and parts according to other Boxster owners' experience. The Manual says we should change oil every 15,000 but lots of other Boxster owners do it every 7,500 to 10,000. I guess it is upto you. Hope it helps
