    Optima Battery Install Note: Part numbers sometimes change without notice. Always double check with your supplier that you have the latest part numbers. These instructions show how to install an Optima Group 34R battery in your Porsche Boxster or 996 using a plastic adapter plate. The cost of the materials (other than the Optima battery) should be under $20, and an hour or two of your time. You don't need to make any modifications to your car or to the Optima battery. All you need to do is to make an installation pla Author Long Islander Category Carrera (996) - Mods Submitted 11/16/2005 10:07 AM

    Why even bother. The only real visible difference is that the bumperettes are painted on the newer bumpers. Just have you bumperettes painted body color, and your rear bumper will look just like the newer ones.

    The seat that Harry has is really a booster seat, not an infant or baby seat. Booster seats are generally suitable for children over the age of 3, over 30 pounds and over 38 inches in height. I now have an Evenflow convertible baby/child seat in the back seat of my 911 coupe, and it fits just fine. My daughter is now almost 3-1/2, around 31 pounds, and 37 inches, and she fits nicely in this seat. Here's a link to a picture of it. http://www.986host.com/albums/Oggie/Porsch..._seat.sized.jpg

    Thanks, Loren. I guess my dealer didn't know this. They never asked what year 996. Duh! And I wasted at least an hour each time removing and re-installing a new logo -- not to mention the time back and forth to the dealer and time spent wondering why the top of the darn C just won't stick to the deck lid!!

    HOLY COW! You just answered my biggest riddle! I've now installed 3 (YES THREE) silver logos to replace the black original one, and the top of the C has been sticking out on all three!!!! I've been going nuts trying to figure out why. The parts guy didn't indicate there was more than one silver logo for a 996. The part number I installed was: 996-559-237-10-4PU. Do you have another part # for a silver logo?

    Thanks.

    Thanks. 2001 C2 coupe, standard spoiler.

    I recall seeing on one of the 996 forums the instructions for locating the "Carrera" logo on the rear decklid. Does anyone know where I can find this? I have a 2001.

    Looks like you should get an Optima battery, possibly the yellow top deep cycle one, if you don't want to keep replacing batteries. The DIY section has instructions on how to do this.

    Thanks for the useful info. In general, I haven't had to add any oil in between oil changes, which I have done once a year (which is usually 5.5k - 6k miles). But in case I do, I guess I should hunt around for this Amzoil (which I've never come across).

    I took my wife's car (not a Porsche) to the dealer the other day to have some maintenance done. I asked them to use synthetic oil, and they used Amzoil. If I need to add some before the next oil change, can I just add some Castrol sythetic or Mobil One of the same viscosity?
