All great advice on the oil change. One word of caution. Your Boxster takes 9.3 quarts of oil with a filter change but it is better to use slightly less than too much. If you over fill with oil it will ruin your CATs which cost big money. Also, that $180 oil change quote is not bad when you consider that tha oil alone is $60 minimum (they have to open the 10th qt to give you that 0.25 or 0.30 quart) then the filter is between $21 - $24 so you're looking at about $84 without labor. And the Porsche dealers get about $125 - $150 per hour for labor. Those F'er's
