Sixpact - I took it to Hendrick Porsche. Talked to Scott - he is really helpful. I am used to doing all my own work, so I am extremely skeptical of shops, but I hate doing oil changes these days, too messy. Hendrick sales guys are annoying
(went to them many times in my 18 month search for my Box), but their service guys seem ok.

One thing I realized with all this talk of where the needle sits, on the 0 or 8 or whatnot - gauges have subtle differences over the years...I am no expert on these, maybe someone else can chime in on this, but the my gauge being on the zero is still well before the second to last tick mark (which is like 215, I gather). My thought is as long as it is between the two middle ticks, it is within spec. I have confirmed this with the climate display diagnostic readout.
