Tire Change for Porsche Boxster GTS – Impressions After Switching to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Tire Change for the Boxster Happy New Year! In 2019, I hope to continue updating this blog with fun and useful content for all readers, while enjoying it myself.

Is the First Oil Change for the Porsche Panamera Really Okay at 10,000 km or 1 Year?
First Oil Change for the Panamera The other day, I received a question from a reader who recently purchased a Panamera 4E Hybrid. How do you all handle the timing for the Panamera’s oil changes? The dealer told me, “It’s fine to change the oil at 1 year or 10,000 km,” but it seems like many people replace it much earlier for the first change… Indeed… I hadn’t realized that for modern Porsches, dealers recommend...

Porsche Panamera 1-Year Inspection – What’s the Cost of the All-in-One Inspection & ...
Panamera’s 1-Year Inspection Last weekend, I took the Panamera in for its 1-year inspection. Since it was delivered last October, it’s already been a year. Actually, about a week before the inspection, a warning popped up saying “Oil level low, topping up to 2.0L”, but I thought “It’d be a waste to top up oil now, so please just hold out until the inspection!” Luckily, it did (laughs). The long weekend last week was apparently...

Should You Enroll in the Porsche Approved Warranty After 3 Years with Your New Boxster?
Three Years Since Purchasing Our Boxster The other day, we received a postcard from the Porsche dealer about the Boxster GTS’s upcoming vehicle inspection. Oh wow… we bought the Boxster new in November 2015, so it’s already been three years—time flies. Then, shortly after, another letter arrived from Porsche Japan. Inside was information about the “Porsche Approved Warranty.” P-Porsche Approved Warranty? (-_-) Apparently, the “Porsche Approved Warranty” is a coverage program available for new and...
