- Basics of taking care of your used sports car. I use my 2006 Porsche Boxster to show what I've done but the concepts apply to all performance cars.

Some good points you raised. Thanks!
Some notes on tires:
1) Porsche says to replace tires after 6 years. If you use Michelin, they say up to 10 years. These are time based, of course, and dependent on wear.
2) The date code on your tires are the last 4 digits on the alpha numeric string. The first two numbers are the week produced, and the last two are the year.
The one thing you left out were the drain holes in the the battery compartment. They can get clogged with leaves and start a rust problem because no one ever looks there until they replace the battery,
Liked and subscribed. I completely agree with the points you raised in your video. These Boxsters are not difficult to maintain, but be maintained they must !
Love the videos. Tackling the power steering change this weekend myself on my 986.
Very informative! 😊
Love the tshirt!

Thanks for the video.
Do you have the time- lime( miles range) you have to do each one?
I have a tip for you. When you’re shooting a video hold the phone properly. ( horizontal.) everybody knows this
oh god get a life
Looks like the front Driver side wheel is missing a nut!!
How is replacing with all new fluid a bad thing?
The transmission wears out in a way that accounts for the thickness of the fluid (which increases over time). A complete replacement drastically changes the viscosity the transmission has been accustomed to
Re- changing the transmission oil so you’re saying specialist Porsche technicians don’t know
how to do a service ? Or you know better than them the correct method? Not sure what you’re eluding
to .
It’s a well known issue across manufacturers. The idea is that when you do a flush (like a dealer) it breaks particles free that can damage the transmission. If you just drain and replace it won’t break the particles free.
