Default Maintenance items

I did some maintenance items on the 968 today.
Oil and filter (Amsoil 10W 40)
NGK plugs
Fuel filter
Balanced wheels
The oil change was pretty easy, not that messy. I did remove the plastic cover as well as the front cover as I wanted to check on a steering cooler line leak (seepage). Tightened the clamp and cleaned up the covers. Will keep an eye on to see if it seeps any more.
Will swap out cap and rotor and bleed brakes and slave in upcoming weeks.
Enjoyed working on the 968, and getting familiar with it.

very nice.


i was wondering if you could possibly do me a huge favor...


can you get a level and a square ruler and measure the vertical in your 993 headlamps ?


i am changing to the 993 lights soon.


planning to cut just a bit out of the opening below and above, and screw it up royal from there.


thanks, Allan OD

Carmen___ I think your starting on the rigth foot by doing the maintenance on your 968 yourself, & this is a great way to get familiar with the car you'll be driving more & more. But lol a word of caution here, them little 968 can be very addictive.
