Help with Winterizing a Boxster for 1st time
I hate the thought of doing this, but I will need to winterize my '07 Boxster I just purchased sometime in the next month as snow will be flying in the Toronto region of Ontario. Since I am new at this, does anyone have some good tips for this? I will be storing it in my garage which is attached to the house (usually 10F warmer than outside) and have purchased a Porsche car cover for indoors. Do you change the oil before or after storage? Any info. offerred will be much appreciated. I love driving this car!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't recommend disconnecting the battery; put a maintainer on it instead. The reason is that the engine control unit will forget everything it has adapted and go back to default. It takes about 150-200 miles of driving in various conditions to remap and get all systems "ready" (can impact emissions testing).
Maintainers are inexpensive and easy to use. Otherwise, GTA_G20 covered the basics. |
