Spring Maintenance - Guidance Needed

[moynihan]

Hello all,

I have a 2002 Boxster “S” with 5500 miles. The mileage is incredibly due to my father’s choice not to drive the car unless it was exactly the right Sunday. Recently, I have acquired the car and need to make a decision of what/when to service it.

The car has been to the local Porsche dealership for the past two springs with an oil change and seasonal check, but I feel as if this is almost over kill for a car with that little use. Does anyone have a recommendation as to when I should get the car serviced and what services to have performed?

Also, a friend mentioned that the probability of seals going bad with an engine with low miles is much higher then an every day driver. Is this true? Can I put anything in the engine to prevent such a headache?

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to the insight everyone on this board provides.

Best,

Dan
