Oil change and Brake question

[blinkwatt]

Try to take it to the nearest dealership to get the brake issue checked out. You could learn how to change your oil yourself. The easiest thing for you to do probably is to just have them change it at the dealership while they inspect your brakes.

jango, I'm guessing your brake discs just need a good blast of water from your hose each time you wash your car. That fixed my brakes from sqeaking. It may cause bit of surface rust on the discs if not driven for a few days after you do this, but this is normal and doesn't hurt anything.

There's a lot of brake dust on my rims every time I wash the car. Waxing your rims will be helpful to keep them clean, but just know that the compound in the brake pads is softer than a passenger car (providing better grip) which means it wears faster too. All this means is that you'll have more brake dust on your boxster rims than usual. Also, high speed braking creates a lot of wear and dust, so keeping this to a minimum will be helpful in the future.

I sure wish I was just coming out of a break-in period in my new Boxster! I've got 94k on mine.
