Hi i just got a 2001 boxster with only 2900 miles on it. The car still has the original oil in it .The former owner never got to take it for service due to the low miles.Still it should of have recived one at least every year.However i took it to a recommended shop specialized in porche and these are there recomendations.Oil and filter ok. Plugs ok (there not that expensive).Fuel filter ok (also not expensive).Also the check engine light went on, most probably the oxigen sensors.The car was not moved for over a year so a bottle of octane boost was given to the half tank of gas and when it was consumed a injector cleaner was added,still working on that tank of gas.Here is my question ......The mechanic said that a oil sump pan should be instaled for these cars for they tend to go dry in cornering hard and lead to engine failure.Sounds ok to me that is the reason for that part .But being this my first porsche how could porsche not take that into consideration for a sports car.The kit goes for 350.00 plus 80.00 for the work.Is he pulling my leg or is this legit?
