So, I am old school when I get a car first thing I do is service it and change the fluids so I know from that point on when and what was done.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2004 40th Anniversary Edition #946 is on a truck heading south So, I am old school when I get a car first thing I do is service it and change the fluids so I know from that point on when and what was done. I am new to Porsche but a car is a car so upon arrival what do you guys recommend for fluids on a 2004 40th AE? Car has 34k miles on it. I want to drain and replace fluids and am new to Porsche but have had good luck with Motul as well as Mobil 1 in the past. brand, spec & p/n if you can: Oil (Motul 8100 X-Cess 5w40?) Brake fluid (Motul RBF 600 Synthetic Dot 4?) Radiator coolant (OEM Porsche "ouch" more expensive than my Merc!) Steering fluid (?) M/T fluid (OEM Porsche?) Also, filters: Engine (someone said to use the Turbo ones will the fit NA and flows better?) Oil (worth doin the LN spin on kit?) Fuel filter ? Cabin filter ? Oh, also best place (read cheapest, lol) to order from. Thanks guys trolling this forum has been great and all the info I derrived helped get me a pretty good deal on a really nice car.

POST 2Original post

If you're also looking for a good indi, I can recommend one. Near Hooters in Doral if that's convenient for ya. He has done over 10 IMSR R&R's ( including mine) since I met him in Dec 09. very good rates and can also get a good price ( similar to Suncoast) for just about anything Pcar related. FWIW, I'd also recommend Pentosin fluids for your car.

POST 3Original post

welcome, congrats.... post some pics... I bet you are having a hard time waiting... good idea getting a "begining" data point on your fluids. i wont recommend any as we have had enough "oil threads" lots of people from your area, so they will know where to look/buy from again, welcome

POST 4Original post

I would go all OEM, call suncoast in FL. http://www.suncoastparts.com/category/PO.html

POST 5Original post
