I think it is.

There are some purists who think the first oil change should be at very low miles , ie 1000 in order to get any metal shavings that might get produced when the engine is breaking in.

I THINK that is a bit much on a car like the Boxster but it is a personal preference in my opinion.

Having said that, that is exactly what I did when my wife bought her brand new Subaru.

Go figure.
