Make sure the penzoil has at least 1200 ppm zinc. Damage can quickly result from low zinc levels.
Tank will accumulate water from condensation and produce gunk around plug. I change oil every Spring to get rid of water.
Do you have a way to read codes? If not there are a few options from relatively cheap public domain software (requires cable), to more expensive and comprehensive Durametrics program and hammer clone PDT999.

Dan, thanks for chiming in.
I have a center warning light issue, not a check engine light. The durametric reads fault codes but I believe those would be represented by the check engine light?
From what I understand the center warning light only works in conjunction with specific lights (such as low fuel, brake pads etc) and or without the buzzer noise.
That's why I want to replace the instrument panel light bulbs as I do not any of them but I do have a center warning light.
What happened this weekend? Ah yes - I took out all instruments to replace lights only to find out that the new bulbs were all destroyed during shipping...
And I also installed a secondary cup pipe but I find the car still too quiet. The pripary is going on this week
I went for a drive this weekend, spirited I would say...
the car is fully original with rusty springs and unknown alignment: I had a blast! My only complaint is the tall gearing but the new gearbox will fix that. It really has personality!
Saturday I installed the secondary muffler delete but it did not sound as loud as I thought.
I also replaced the Pennzoil mineral with the Mobil1 synthetic 15w50. Car seemed quieter on the drive train, I wish I could compare temperatures but we are having a cold wave here in Texas at the moment.
i also tested the low speed fan, it works fine so I think I need to remove the front bumper to check on the pads that force air to the oil cooler.
the drive was gorgeous, perfect weather, revved the little one to redline and she did just fine. I was even surprised how easily it got to 150mph given the mileage of the engine (we went to Mexico...). I was told it smokes a bit on downshifting, which I am not surprised of.
i will install also the primary cup delete this week, I just need to find exhaust straps as the originals are just too big (any lead on where to get them?).
of course I started the car without exhaust: so gnarly!!!
"i will install also the primary cup delete this week, I just need to find exhaust straps as the originals are just too big (any lead on where to get them?"
I took some original exhaust straps from an earlier car and we cut them down and welded to fit. I have stainless fasteners on now, but also have some yellow zinc plated ones too. Looks much more factory....plus legit Porsche part numbers still on them 901-111-157-04 !!
I am evaluating several options for the parts list to ask Santa!
Interior:
- Seems that Momo mod 07 is the way to go?
- Seats: I am looking at several options, either Recaro Pole Position (proven combo) or something more custom like the STATUS seats.

Suspensions:
- I have the Koni setup but I am looking for something more "aggressive". The Bilstein PSS are again a proven combo but I am also exploring options with Ohlins.
I like my KW V3s. You may wan to consider those as well.

These look they have a lot of adjustment. Does anyone have any experience with these? Anyone using them with KW V3s?
I think you'll need Evo uprights and 993 inner tie rod to use these.
I had KW clubsport once on my old S2000 and never fully liked them. I did 3 trackdays to try to dial them in and never succeeded, that's why I am a bit hesitant.
Thanks Marine blue, That's a possibility:I have not driven the 964 in a while and will follow the procedure below to eliminate question marks. Does anyone know if the ! light is on if there are battery charging issues? O2 sensors?
The I light will be on after the car is started,
IF the E brake is pulled ,
release E brake it should go off.
If not then the switch under the E brake handle may need to be adjusted
also the brake light warning will be lit till you step on the brake,
if the I light stays on after this then you need to check the warning lights,
to do that get the owners manual and see what the warning lights are then turn on the key and see if they are all lighting up,
if any of them are out then that system may be suspect as triggering the I light .
