20 K NO WAY!!!

I've been running Mobil 1 in everything I own for at least the last ten years. I own a commercial fish boat the cost of a new engine in that would make a Boxster engine look cheap. We run Mobil 1, my partner was not a believer. I said change to Mobil 1 15-50 and just listen to the difference in the motor. He is now converted! We do oil analysis cuz it's a lot of oil. Just change the filter at the service interval. Last oil analysis we were good for another 500 hours at least.

My old Windstar 210k miles on Mobil 1 10 k changes still runs great and does not use oil. And it's the notorious 3.8 liter.

I'll change the Boxster at 7.5 K intervals and not worry about it.

SD987: I'm up in Oceanside don't get the Box down to SD much so wasn't me. I will get some good pics to post, I like the color comb. but it was my wifes good taste. I looked at a 2 tone interior boxster at Pioneer, did you buy yours off the lot? I liked the two tone a lot. We got our's in late June. I will tell the whole story here one of these days with pics.
