I am planning to change the oil in my 2002 Boxster S myself and wanted to know if there are any DIY resources available. What oil should I use? What kind of Filter? I have read that changing the oil every 5k miles is good, which I intend to do because this car is my daily driver.

Thanks!

It is the same as a 996 series car - the engine is just turned 180 degrees.

Take a look at post #9 by Tool Pants in the following thread for an easy, relaxed method for changing the oil:

Porsche specifies new filter every other oil change @ 15k miles for your car. You are right to change at 5k and recommend new filter with each change for cheap piece of mind as it sound like you plan to do. Order filter and new crush ring for the oil plug from sponsor Sunset :sunset: t or Suncoast in Florida which I also love. You'll get the right parts at a fair price either way.

I think Toolpants has some comparable filters available locally that are just as good. Search is your friend for this, but it might be on the post referenced by 1schoir.
