I shouldn't have any issues maintaining the car, as I have always done my own work. I am just looking for specific starting points to look at since I have little time until I get the car. I don't have a problem doing much of anything.
Welcome and congrats. Reach out to your local PCA. They will be a wealth of resources. If you are going to do your own wrenching, consider picking up a Bentley manual and/or the 101 Projects for your Boxster. Plus Pelican Parts has a huge DIY Tech section. Safe travels.
I'm afraid that a single oil analysis won't tell you much. Only when done each time the oil is changed will you learn about trends in engine wear. Any single sample WILL contain some metal....ALL engines wear and as they do, trace metals gets deposited (or suspended) in the oil. So either start doing regular a analysis or just save your money and forget a single analysis. I'd be more inclined to change the oil slightly more often and forget the analysis .... up to u. Since literally drive by an "old lady" my guess is that the car is sweet...so just drive it, have fun with it and fix it when needed.....but mostly have fun with it.
