I use Mahle filters - Porsche OEM but less expensive than the exact same filter with the word "Porsche" printed on the side. If you ordered a valve gasket kit, there should be a set of rings in that. If you didn't order the valve gasket kit, ask yourself if you know the last time the car had its valves adjusted. If the answer in "no", then you might want to think seriously about it. Its really not as hard as everyone makes it out to be, IMO.

For oil, I use Valvoline 20W-50 Racers Formula something-or-other. However, mine is a nice weather car, so on days like today (17 degrees), I have no intention of starting it. If you plan on driving during the winter, maybe consider 15W-40 until its gets warmer. Stay away from synth unless the engine is a fresh rebuild or you like leaks - well, more leaks that is.
