Please don't get your knickers in twist over engine failures , read this, it puts it all into perspective! http://philipraby.co.uk/porsche-boxster-996-and-997-engines-the-truth/ Thank you for posting this link Caymanwhite. It's a good read and helps me stay positive until I'm told otherwise. Once I get to visit this Porsche guy for a thorough check I will let you all know his findings.

Thats the factory spec oil grade yes. Some use 5w-40 also. Either is fine, make sure it's top quality stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMC Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 They all do the white smoke thing, even the new ones, but if it's more than at start up, get it checked over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
