Check your maintence manual. Mostly just do a check of the boots, and underside of the carriage to make you nothing is damaged. It is all covered in the manual.

Good call on the maintenacne manual.....I guess Im always thinking that the dealer must be doing some other kind of vodoo considering the labor charge on the oil change.

Again, thanks for the input!

Jeff.

I hear you Jeff. For what they charge for a 15k and 30k maintence you'd think they took the whole car apart and put it back together but basically it's just alot of visual checks and oil/filter changes.

Gentlemen:

Am I missing something?

My manual says synthetic oil for the Box is ~10W40 etc, no mention of 0-W anything:

The Box has been shipped with M1 0W-40 for some years now. What year Box do you have?

Yes, Porsche changed from the 10W40 to the 0W40 a few years ago.
