Started getting the Boxster ready for spring after a thankfully mild winter - supposed to hit 60 degrees this week.
Changed oil myself for the first time (had been to service center for dealer over the last year since I bought it). Very easy.
Changed manual transmission fluid as I suspect it was never done, or not for a long time (I have a 2004 S with 139,000 miles on it now). Once I got car up o 4 jack stands, had to take off shield which was easier than it looked. Drained old fluid - no metal pieces or goop inside the drain hole or fill holes when I checked. Put in some nice fresh Swepco 201 using a hand pump.
Put everything back together, then took it for a quick test drive
Still want to change the spark plugs but ran into small snag - not having had to take rear tires off before I never noticed one wheel has a locking lug nut, and I don't have the key. Going to try and hunt one down.
