What kind of transmission fluid does a Boxster use?
The Porsche part number for the transmission fluid is 999-917-545-00, but is almost $35 a liter. The Boxster also can use off-the-shelf Esso LT 71141, or Pentosin ATF-1, both available along with gasket/filter kits from PelicanParts.com. I would avoid using any other type of fluid in your transmission.
How much does a Boxster automatic transmission cost?
The previous owner had let it run down about 2 quarts low (the Boxster transmission takes about 9 quarts).

How do you change the sump in a Boxster?

What should I do if my Boxster is having problems shifting?
