Hi,
We're new here. just have a couple of questions about these 993s.
What oil, tire pressures, are you guys running?
Should I leave my engine cover on? My wrench said I should leave it on.
Why does my heater smell like burnt oil?
Do 19" wheels look good on 993s?

Thanks, looking forward to meeting you guys.

Blinker fluid, damn it! Mechanics always forget to add that to the 993s. What do they teach you in that Porch school anyway?

If it is broken, just change the DME relay.

FD;

Since you're a new guy I'll give you a break (or is that brake?). I always wanted to ask these questions, but was afraid to ask these experts! I’m still not sure what oil to use in my car, any opinions?
