What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Not yet, haven’t been able to push it hard enough. Debatable if it makes any difference. Some claim it does, others claim it doesn’t. Something to do for $30 bucks of aluminum and a few minutes.

Did my first oil change on the Boxster today. All went well until I started refilling with the new oil. After pouring a few litres in I had a look underneath and oil was dripping almost directly below the filling inlet in the boot. I got under and it was coming from a tube about 1/2 "which I think probably could be an overflow. Anyone had this happen to them ?




Cut open the old filter to check for metal fragments, clean as a whistle !

BTW Luv my Boxster

There are only 2 oil tubes that run from the "boot" to the engine. One is the big 2" filler tube and the other is the dipstick tube. Both are plastic and both tend to get very brittle. There's no overflow for oil, btw. I've worked on my engine and had both tubes break from age. Not expensive, but not real easy to replace.:ah:

I <3 my Boxster, too!

That looks fantastic. I am long overdue to do the same. After I finally removed my hardtop I realized I forgot to connect the soft top rear defroster. When I did the receptacle in the interior panel unsnapped from its little plastic clip and wouldn't go back in. So I took the panel out and used a small zip tie to keep it in place. The zip tie was a little too big so I used a utilty knife to trim it on top just a bit so that the hardtop and soft top plug can go in and out easier. I cut the end of the zip tie off after I took these pictures.

New radiator cap. Just in case.
