Did my first oil change myself, always stressful on a 986.
The plug was in so tight I couldn't believe it. Replaced it with a magnet plug.

2 years 3000 miles on the oil, year and a half on the filter. I changed just the filter because I was curious. Ran a big magnet though the old oil, not a bit of metal. Added 0W-50 synthetic. Purrs like a kitten ��
Everything went great. :dance:

Installed...

...the new PCA Boxster Register grill badge and the Keels & Wheels car event grill badge.

It was almost 80 degrees here, so it was the perfect time to hit the badges with a layer of clear paint protection and let them dry as I removed the PCA badge and Porsche badge that were already in place and figure out the measurements for adding the two new badges.

I'm all badged up now. It's fun watching kids look at the badges and folks who aren't car people read them and comment on how out of the ordinary my car is compared to all the SUVs.

Convertibles are now only 2.7% of the new car market in the USA. Sad.

Enjoy!
