When I got box it was making a shrieking noise when I first started it in the morning. Turned out it was the starter--Bendix drive needed lube and was hanging up on the flex plate (flywheel.) Lubing the drive fixes it, replacing the starter (I had extras) does too.

Brian in Tucson,..it only makes that noise if it sits for a couple days,..if I start it everyday it starts as normal I suppose I don't have a lot of boxster experience listening to how A good solid engine should sound, But NO terrible noises so I trust all is well,..My Oil report came back with no issues at all from Blackstone just a high TBN count of 6.5 but I don't know what that is anyway,But I don't think its bad.. Thanks Frank
