I recently bought a 2007 Cayman S. Had a PPI done by an indie Porsche shop so I had an informed decision on the price I was willing to pay. As I'm dealing with some of the costs that I expected to pay, I'm beginning to wonder what repairs/maintenance I really should have done at this specialist...

I'm up here is Alaska and water condensation is so problematic that we change natural oils more frequently because water tends to build up displacing oil and making it appear there is more oil in the crank case than there is. Problem is I'm cheap and part of the rationale in buying this beast...

A local dealer is offering "more" than than a simple quick lube. In addition to an inspection, and the Mobil 1 change, they are putting "BG 44K Treatments" in the case. Price for this is $250.00. They also are selling a Lifetime BG 44K Protection Plan. Price unknown. Since I don't recall...
