Not sure why a Porsche certified tech would put unapproved motor oil in my car or why the porsche manual states synthetic 5w30 is ok. Yikes! Maybe it is time to trade and get that lexus
Anyways, I'll probably just integrate this in with my 45K since I am at 42K... I scanned the work checklist & inspection plan for the 45K. It looks like a pointless gorified inspection. Anything here I can DESCOPE to cut costs and anything I need to add on? I was under the impresion there were more belts that needed changing...
