Get it tested to see if the "lifeblood" is good or needs changing .
The test will tell you about more than just the oil
and if you test over time you will be more informed of the health of your motor .

I certanily appreciate all the input from everyone. I am thinking it would be good learning experience to test as well as plan to change it. Then I know personally what I have.

I will post what I find next month when I go get her.

Can't wait for the snow to go away!

Good decision!

For your sake, I hope this next month flies.


Nice links Indycam. Great reading.

I have to confess I took the easy way out this time. I had my Porsche dealer do my first oil change. I wanted them to give it a once over after my first storage year. I also wanted to see what the oil level would be after they did the change. For only $120 out the door and since O&F would cost me $100 alone, thought what the heck.

Car checked out great so I have a summer to get to know her and will change oil this fall myself before I put her away.
