2020 Porsche 718 Boxster Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Porsche 718 Boxster motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Porsche 718 Boxster engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Porsche 718 Boxster oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Porsche exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Porsche 718 Boxster oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Porsche 718 Boxster oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Porsche 718 Boxster oil light comes on? Your Porsche 718 Boxster oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my 718 Boxster's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Porsche 718 Boxster oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
