Welcome aboard and from "down the road!"

Quickly,

No, EBAY cannot help you here and some folks have been swindled by sellers who claim to help.

Go to your dealer and order a valet key. Should not be too much dough! If they are not selling them anymore, order the key blank for your car and take it to a locksmith for a base to be attached.

Two choices on oil. Mobil 1 0W-40 is what Porsche uses and it is excellent. To save a bit of dough, I use Shell Rotella Fully synthetic 5W-40. It is also an excellent oil and is only about $3.50 per quart at Wal Mart. They sell it in gallon jugs.

If you were in Palm Springs, I would recommend Mobil 1 15W-50 for the summer.

BTW-I recommend that you change the oil AND filter every 7500 miles. I use OEM filters and recommend them also.

Lastly, yes, you can buy that clip at your Porsche parts dept.


Best of luck!
