You can get your filter and the magnetic drain plug from Pelican Parts. You'll also need to get a crush ring for the plug. They're very inexpensive, so you might want to stock up. If you choose Mobil 1 as your oil, you can get 5 quart jugs at WalMart for $22.47 each. You should be able to find most other oils at your local auto parts store. The exotics will have to be ordered.

My last change cost $65.00.

Maybe this is a no-brainer, but everything you need to know about changing the oil in your Boxster, along with links for obtaining parts, can be found here:

Just please don't ask what kind of oil to use. Use the "search" function on this site to find previous threads.......................then stock up on aspirin!
