thanks for the quick reply.
do you know if Canadian Tire sells the oil filters/gaskets for the Boxsters?

I charge $47.50 labor on porsches plus materials. Most other vehicles are $28.50 but it takes extra time and care to put a Porsche on the hoist and we use a torque wrench on the drain plug and the oil filter housing.
The filter does not come with the gasket. I have lots in parts bins in the back.
On another note, my ears are proportionally lage as are all my other appendages.

It's the same filter for all water cooled cars.
I should add that not all stores may want to take on an oil changed on these cars and I'm not suggesting that every CTC store SHOULD be working on your Porsche. My guys have always worked on mine and I have several customers that come here for their maintenance for that reason.
I was only posting up for those who do oil changes themselves to let them know that they could now get everything they needed for their oil changes at a great price form their local Canadian Tire Store.
If you're in the ottawa area, I'd be happy to do an oil change here for you though.

Hey ATR,
I bought my tranny/diff oil from the dealer and was looking for a good place to do this...
How much for the quick change? I know exactly what to do and have 5L for front/rear.

I pay the tech .5 which is .2 more than he'd get on a regular oil change. We do a 20 pt inspection and torque the drain plug and oil filter to spec. We'll check the battery and cabin air filter for that too. Don't usually check the air filter for that but will happily do that for an added price (dependent on type)

There is more than 1 CTN in the Ottawa area...can you give me a hint? Or prefer PM...?
Thanks, and I'm sure lots of folks appreciate the honest service, I know I would!
