Hi guys and ladies,
Now that that the warmer weather is approaching, I'm going to bring my 06 Boxster S out. I wonder if there's anything I need to do other than an oil change to start driving it again?
I had a battery maintainer plugged in since December and started it recently and it purrs beautifully.
I'm scheduled for an oil change at the dealer but don't want to do any more than I need to. Also need a new left brake light. It currently has approx 32,000 miles on it.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

It is recommended to change the oil before you lay the car up, fresh oil doesn't have the impurities that can be hard on seals. So, keep that in mind this fall.

As long as you've been keeping up on maintenance I'd just check all fluids and tire pressure, wash it and go

 

Thanks for your reply.
I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to.
I don't drive it a lot, less than 4,000 miles a year.
The oil level looks good.
I've made my appointment next week with the dealer. They suggested some kind of engine flush. Not sure if I want to spend any more than I have to.
I'll make sure to have the oil changed this fall.
Thanks again.

 

engine flush isn't needed and many will say does harm. Not recommended in the owner's manual so I'm surprised a Porsche dealer would be recommending it.

 

I'll be sure to ask the service advisor about it. Thanks

 

So I had my spring oil and filter change. It turned out that I misheard the service advisor. It was a brake flush and not engine flush.
Found that the car drove much nicer after the oil change.
Gotta drive it more this summer than the 4k the last two summers.
