2000 BoxS, 167000 miles, original IMS. Purchased in 2006 w/ 60,000 miles. I'm the second owner. Oil changes every 5-7k w/ Castrol 5w-40 Syntec. Blackstone oil analysis shows nothing unusual. No IMS worries here.
1999 Carrera 4, 77,000 miles. Purchased May 2013 w/ 50,000 miles. Originally a Canadian car, I'm the 3rd owner. Oil changes every 5-7k w/ Castrol 5w-40 Syntec. Blackstone oil analysis shows nothing unusual. Trans is out right now for a clutch replacement, and I am replacing IMS and leaking RMS.
