A month or so ago, I did an article on preforming a oil and filter change on a Boxster. I accidentally omitted from that article a DIY tip on how to remove the oil filter canister using a oil filter canister removal tool.
Changing the oil and filter on a 986 or 987 are very similar processes. One of the tools you should use is a Oil Filter Canister Removal Tool that snaps onto a 3/8" ratchet. The filter canisters on both the 986 and 987 use the same size removal tool.
Sometimes the...

One of the topics we hear talked about a lot is engine oil. What is a good oil for my Boxster, what weight oil should I use, how often should I change my oil...these are all common questions we see discussed again and again. The purpose of my article is not to open another debate on these important topics, but to share with you what I do based on my "real-world" experiences with Porsche cars.
Oil in the old air-cooled Porsches was critical, and to a large extent is still critical to the...

The battery in our cars is one of the items that many owners neglect until it's to late. One of the most feared sounds from our cars is the "sound of silence" when we turn the key. :frown:
Our Boxster's battery has a finite life and will need replacing eventually. I have typically gotten 7-8 years of life on my 911 batteries. ...

We all spend a lot time making the exterior of our Boxster's look great. It makes sense, because the exterior of our cars is what everybody sees.
We also need to care for the cockpit, which includes all the leather surfaces located throughout the interior of our cars. The leather in the interior of your car should be cleaned...

I washed the Boxster this morning, so now it's time to put some wax on it.
I try to wax the Boxster twice a year. My Boxster is my daily driver, so it gets frequent washings during the year. I wash my cars by hand, but even so, the frequent washing will gradually strip away the wax and put light swirl marks in the paint.
There are a couple of options on how to wax your car. Between waxings, the surface of the paint gets swirl marks and hairline scratches. The swirl marks and hairline...

The primary joy of owning a Boxster is cruising through the countryside on a beautiful day with the top down.
One of the factory options that makes that "topless" experience even better, is the Wind Deflector (Option 551) which is mounted to the Boxster's roll bar. The wind deflector reduces the amount of air turbulence and wind noise in the cockpit, allowing the driver and passenger a more pleasant open top driving experience.
Most Boxster's have the wind deflector option. But a few of...
