Then what would you suggest, preferably something I can find locally

I use Castrol Syntec / Edge 5w40. We probably have similar weather conditions. But you use whatever you like. Just change it every 5K mi or annually, whichever is lower.

For my area do you guys suggest 0w40 Mobil 1 or 5w40. I’ve used 0w40 in the past on my Mercedes

Yep, and gosh never thought I'd say this but... I'm w Starter...

you're better off at this point not disturbing the 21+ year old oil and should just leave original stuff in there. I mean it's made it this far why mess with success.

Good luck ;-)

Unless I'm mis-reading the original post, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be the first time the oil's been changed in this car...just the first time HE'S changed it.

I'm with husker. I like Castrol.

Great responses!

My "no" was so I'd be first to say no to another oil thread.

I just picked up 10 quarts of the Castrol 0-40 since I'm in SoCal.

You guys are great!

OK... I'm going to go check on that mouse.

@Frodo - Had OP written "first time I'm changing oil in my 2001 Boxster" I would wholeheartedly agree. But he did not. Poor Boxster 21 years old and only now getting first oil change

First oil change by me, 55k miles. Last owner drove it 200 miles in 6 years oil hasn’t been changed in that whole 6 years because of no miles

Are you an English professor now?

Grammar aside, I think most reasonable readers would understand that he meant he's changing the oil on it for the first time, not that it's the first time the car has ever had an oil change.
