Porche Dealer in Toronto

Boxsternut....why switch to 5W40? What reason is given in the manual? I have always done 0W.....not knowing what is really best.

I did an oil change at an independant for 165.........not right in TO though! I will pass on the info if any are interested..

Jaykay, I was reading my manual and it states 0W40 if the car is run under -25C most of the time. I'm storing in the winter and will be using the car when it's usually over, say 10C or higher (ie. spring, summer, fall for Toronto area). Also considering as I can get Mobil1 5W40 in a 5 quart jug in the US (brother-in-law lives in NH which is tax-free and comes up all the time) for $22 each. I know this has been widely debated on this forum, but can't see why I shouldn't change based on all the information I've researched and been told through this forum. Just my thoughts!

Jaykay...where did you get your oil changed? I just did my own for the first time, took about 1/2 hour to really let it drain, but very easy to do.

I think I will be doing everything myself from now on, where possible.....good on you

I went to Autoselect in Newmarket....wayout there at the end of the 404!

I have been taking my Boxster to AutoSelect in Newmarket for 5 years now.

Reasonable and family business. I have had only good experiences with them.

PHAFF Tunning is too expensive. Every quote that I received was 50% more, which made no sense. Oil change double the price. Suspension mods, Phaff tunning always quoted double the price. 10% to 15% I don't mind, but 50% is
insane and such a scam.

Downtown or Woodbridge - I find them very hard to work with and to build a relationship with is not easy. They all seem to know it all... but guess what I don't. Sometimes you just want to know whats wrong... I don't like
to pay $150 to find out whats wrong....
