Hi,



1. I'll start at the beginning. I am trying to figure out where to place the jack and jack stands. I have checked the bentley manual and the picture is vague at best, it seems to indicate somewhere near the corner inside of the wheels. Seeing some damage where previous owners have got it wrong, I am wondering if someone can describe exactly where I should put the jack or even better a picture.

2. Need to change the oil. I have read the porsche approved oil bulletin, but it leaves many, many options. I have heard that synthetic oil in a car of this age is not the best idea as tends to finds leaks. Does not need to be the best of the best but I would like to reduce wear and treat the engine the best I can. Wondering if someone can suggest something they have used for years, that works well and takes a common sense approach to the matter.

3. Oil filters, haven't done much research here, but I checked at the local auto parts store and they carry a Baldwin filter for the car. I have used Baldwin filters in industrial applications as they come highly regarded, wondering if anyone has experience with them or can suggest something better. I feel a top quality filter is worth the money.

4. Transmission oil. As she's a bit challenged in the shifting department, I would like to get the best available. I have adjusted the linkage and will be replacing the bushings which will help, but I feel a good quality tranny oil is worth the investment. They have Royal Purple at the auto parts store, wondering if the same theory applies and a synthetic tranny oil will finds leaks there as well? Any suggestions?

5. Tires. There is a lot of information on this topic as well, however wondering if someone with experience can make a suggestion for me. I live in western Canada, do not drive it all year, but will certainly encounter rain at times. I use the car as a weekend / daily driver. No racing, but I do enjoy driving it and with more experience I will likely get a better sense of mine and the cars limits. I don't drive it too much so wear rate is not my first priority, although its not my last either. Again, I'm not looking for the best of the best and would like to keep the cost reasonable, but I would like a good tire. I figure I'm looking for something that's good at most things and likely most important has a gentle breakaway (to keep me out of trouble). It has stock Fuchs.

Thank you to all that reply, your advice, suggestions and experience are much appreciated.

So much to learn.
