20% LOL. I bet it's closer to 2%. Porsche produced about 250,000 986's alone. If it was anywhere near 20% there would be 100 new posts on here everyday from people with actual failures and Porsche...

Yeah, all kidding aside Jeff and Jake are the two biggest authorities on the M96 engine on this board. I'd listen to them.

LOL, your engine is fine. Drive your car and enjoy it. All Boxsters puff alittle smoke at startup sometimes and it's been covered a billion times on here before.

Porsche recommends every 15,000 miles or every 2 years (whatever comes first) for the M96. You can change it as often as you desire however. Use 0w40. Mobil1 is fine, or any other full synthetic.

Personally I'm not a fan of SSK's for the Boxster because they increase effort and notchiness too much for my taste. For about the same price as a genuine B&M shifter you can get the whole 997 stock...
