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.
