Man thats thick oil,maybe thats the key.I believe Pedro uses something similar in viscosity on his and has similiar mileage with no issues. Then again u both are reside in a hotter climate.I am in Ontario,canada and use 5w40 (summer driven only) was thinking off going to 5w50 or even 10w40 myself but on those early spring and late fall temps we experience it may be be to heavy,any feedback u could give on this would be greatly appreciated.Post a pic of your ride,congrats!!

Congrats!

96,000 miles in just over four years.......that's about 22,600 miles per year. You must do a lot of highway driving, which is less stressful on the engine than short-trip, city driving.

At 250,000 miles, if you're not ready for the 996, you can always pick up another Boxster at under 100,000 miles an do it all over again!
