Care and feeding of my new Boxster S?

[Paul]

No issue with the piston speeds, but most wear is caused by the first 30 seconds after start up, in comparison very little wear occurs after that.

Also I have read oil studies that show that new oil causes more wear in the first 3000 miles, after that wear levels out.

Hi,

"I try to get out, but they pull me back in..."

Nowhere is it written that it's good to intentionally abuse machinery. The harder you use it, the faster you'll use it up!

An engine and drivetrain is a symphony of moving parts. Step up the cadence, and you inevitably shorten it's lifespan. There are only so many cycles that these various parts are designed to achieve, push beyond this threshold, and the machine will breakdown short of the anticipated life cycle...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
