You guys don't know how lucky you are - Mobil 1 here in Australia retails for $A92-00 ($US100-00) per 5 litre jug, you need two so there's $US200-00 to start with.
No after market filters are available here that I know of, so its from Porsche @ $40-00 on top of the oil, or get a few from the US or UK via the internet....

If you can't do the service yourself, you're in even worse trouble. Porsche Australia sent me a flyer a couple of weeks ago where a basic yearly lube inspection for the 986 can be had for the bargain price of $A695-00 ($US747-00) - but only for July & August, then it reverts back to the normal price of heaven knows what.....
Mind you, they throw in free windscreen wipers with the service - a bargauin at half the price....
