0w-40 Synthetic oil source Bay Area

[meerzee]

FYI:
Looks like you have 2 different rear tires.....and the drivers rear appears to be installed backwards. I believe the "V" in the spread should always be pointing down so you maximize coverage when going forward and water will "bleed" into the center channel from the V ribs pointing to the center........ anyone else notice this?



Welcome and nice 02 S boxster!

Welcome and nice 02 S boxster!

Thanks. Good eye. Yes I know that and used it to my advantage when I was negotiating. The rears have Kumho and Falken. The front has Yokohama's. I alrewady have plans on changing all 4 tires and have the car aligned. Belts, air filters, oil filters and cabin filters are already on order. I'll be washing, waxing and detailing the car today.

Is Mobil 1 0W-40 the choice for these cars? Reading the manual MFG recommends
10 W-40
15 W40
15 W-50

Doing a search on Rennlist and this board the choice seems to be
0 W-40.

Is this the choice?

Just changed mine with M1 0W-40. It has the widest range- excellent for cold weather starts and acts like an SAE 40 as it gets hot. Found it at Advance Auto Parts for $4.98 on sale, normally $5.98. Buy 10 quarts, use all 9 and top off with roughly 2 cups (cooking terms) from the tenth bottle.


Due for tires also. Any reviews on the cheaper Kumho Tires. Or should I stick with Conti Sport Contact 2. I still have the 17s.

Later y'all,

JV

i'l looking forward to my first Boxster get together. Don't know when that will be. I know of the Boxter fest in Lake Tahoe next month but I don't think I'll be able to make it. I'll be in Hawaii at that time.

Is there any Boxster wremching party at all in the Bay Area? I'm in Santa Clara. I think I posted on one of your post once about you selling your Boxster wheels.

Anyhow looking forward to meeting you all.
