Change History

I have a 2006 Boxster S and love the car. My plan is to keep it for another 5-6 years (yes, I did buy an extended warranty for peace of mind).

In researching the dreaded IMS failures and reading LNengineering's website, I learned that there is not much preventative that I can do.
I was considering buying the retrofit kit and having a shop install it. However I was told by LN Engineering that it isn't available for my car. They told
me that the only options I can do, in terms of preventative maintenance, are: frequent oil changes, better oil and a magnetic drain plug.

I don't mind spending $25+/- if it makes sense for the magnetic drain plug but am not sure if knowing that I am about to suffer an IMS failure
is really going to change anything. I say that because my extended warranty company (like most) only covers total breakdown.

So, in your opinion, should I buy a magnetic drain plug?

Thanks in advance....
