Lock the car...

....When you lock the 986 it goes into “Deep Sleep” after 72 hours. This will significantly lower the battery draw.

You can test this yourself.

Lock your Boxster, then leave her for a week....

No suggestion on best path forward....

.....but typically, oil leaks never get smaller.


It will act as a great indicator, however, if there are no more drops, there is no more oil in her.

😀

Good luck.

I found one...

...long story, but an old guy was selling his SE and I called him and he had the key ring and a bunch of other gear.

I was able to convince him to sell me the key ring.

I paid a STUPID amount...

Used cars

The point about buying a used Boxster which already had the LN plug installed and the new owner not knowing about it is a very valid argument for “RTFM” not applying for the OP.

It’s a great...

That’s why....

....When you invest in the LN magnetic drain plug, it comes with instructions. And the instructions are on their web site.

Read the instructions when you buy a new product. Read the owner’s...

LN magnetic torque....

....is less than the OEM plug because the magnetic part inside the outer plug body can “spin” inside the plug body if you over torque it as I explained above.

The Magnet is not aluminum. The Plug...

Peace....

....My point was only that LN lists a torque spec in their instructions.

The torque spec is there for a reason. The reason being that if you OVER torque their magnetic drain plug, the magnetic...

A couple of points here...

I have the LN magnetic drain plug.

I have put 40,000 miles and 10 oil changes on it.

Zero leaks.

I have a $400 Snap-on torque wrench and use it. Every time.

I use a new crush washer. ...

Stick with OEM....

.....any motor mount that is a higher durometer than stock triggers the engine knock sensor and you will lose horsepower.

This happened to me.

It’s the “purge valve” on top of the tank, under the battery. It is a pain to get to. BUT, it can be done. Took me about an hour.

That part is #21 I believe.

A mechanic that I trust on these machines told me that the manometer test is really useless.

The AOS can fail without warning.

If you want a driver and not a weekend toy, buy a 2003 or 2004.

Improved engine compartment cooling.

Improved styling.
