Severe Chain Guide Debris - Oil change

[Shawanabear]

Perfect!! Thanks so much - that makes a lot more sense and I think I understand what's going on. I'll be back here on September 3rd when my 1000KM change results are in! She drives fantastically, so I'm not overly concerned at the moment.

BTW - thanks to this forum, I was aware of what "that rattling" was (heat shields being loose) so I was well informed yesterday when I went in, so they couldn't even try to fool me on that one. They did say they may come loose again and may need to be replaced (rolling my eyes). It's one of the better shops in town (2 Square, Calgary), but still. They have their own needs in mind, I'm sure.

Just make sure they have Boxster knowledge. You can't afford to let them learn on your car. If anything is found in the oil filter there's usually some in the oil pan. You should check & change oil within 3000 miles.
