Lucky 70K Miles - '07 C4s

2 years without warranty and no issues so far -- knock on wood!

I am about to hit 70,000 miles!!!!

I have a rebuilt alternator, new WP, new AOS, brake fluid, pads, battery, air and pollen filters, battery, plugs, spark plugs, and TPMS sensors with 20k. Coils are crack-free.

Except for the struts and tranny fluid (with coolant being lifetime), anything I should watch out for?

Great. Personally I would double up on the recommended service intervals and change out the coolant Q 2-3 years. Switch to a full syth oil like Motul 5-40 X. But that's me. Watch the serpentine belt if it was not replaced w the alternator/pump. Sounds like you're good to go for another 70K miles.

Full synthetic every 5K miles (okay no flames on either too long or too short intervals).

I already changed the belt twice

I think I'll change the coolant at 80k. I recently read that lifetime actually meant "until the warranty expires!"

Same with tranny -- probably change at 80k also.


So far, this 997 has been the cheapest 911 I have owned (qualifier: I can't do much mods that i would like done 'now')
