| As far as I'm aware, they only modified the engine slightly in the new 997 models. I don't believe they changed anything with the turbo's which could be why you see some lag, but like most drivers, it depends on your habits when you shift and accelerate that will give you lag. Air quality, altitude, temperature, all these things and more make a big difference when you are squeezing that much power out of a small six cylinder engine. | |

Replying to: occarfan (May 21, 2008 3:11 pm) I would suggest even a toyota car needs at least oil change and I would suggest every six month max. ! of my uncle bought a land cruiser some time ago for some personal reason he did not drive his car for like 6 months. The dealer told him to change the oil FIRST without even starting the car. So by his experience I say 6month max. Is it a problem to change the oil for you? ANOTHER 30 years!!!!! are you serious  Did you buy the car as new or old. ? btw what car is your daily drive? thanks

Replying to: bmlexus (May 21, 2008 5:32 pm) I will have this car 30 years. I estimate it will have only 70K miles by then and a collectible which I never intend to sell anyways. I'm still very interested to see what porschetech911 recommends. Or anyone else's advice. Oil change I understand, but brake and transmission fluid? How often do most people change that? I know I don't change it once per year on any of my previous cars and they have never had problems. I bought the Carrera new before I got married. I knew it would be hard to buy such an expensive toy after marriage. Which I'm glad I did b/c my wife hates small sports cars. She's only been in the Porsche a few time. Plus she will never drive it b/c she can't drive manual. I also have 02 Mercedes S430 and 07 Mecedes GL450. I consider these both my wife's car as I don't really like large cars and she does. So I drive what she doesn't. I'm just saving money for my next car. Either 2011 Mercedes E63 AMG or BMW M5. Very anxious to see what they will look like. So she'll have her 2 cars and I'll have my 2. Guess the oldest car has to be parked outside then (hers). |

Replying to: occarfan (May 21, 2008 10:00 pm) as with the brake fluid, Your brake fluid attracts moisture from sitting which can rot the brake lines. I don't know what fluid the Porsche takes as I don't have one "Yet" few more months but if its something like 90W every few years is fine just make sure to check the level.
