My 1999 Boxster passed the 200,000 mile mark
FYI,
I passed the 200,000 mile mark in my Boxster last week. I picked it up in Sep 09 with 104,000 miles. I don't believe the IMS has ever been touched.
This weekend I changed the oil & filter as well as the spark plugs.
I change the oil & filter every 10,000 miles with Mobil 1 15W50. It doesn't leak or use any oil between changes. I do wish Mobil would make their Extended Performance Mobil 1 in either 10W40 or 15W50 viscosity.
I've decided to wait until Tuesday to cut open my oil filter (I want to enjoy this moment while I can).
I did discover that my driver side rear inner cv joint cover is torn. I will have to take it to mechanic this week (changing the cover is just above my skill level).
I always said, "Once I reach 200,000 miles, I will start looking for a 996." I've decided to wait until we reach 250,000 miles.
Friday, I ordered a new set of tires from TireRack. Next weekend I will have the tires mounted and treat it to a full detail.
Just my two-cents.
