I'm about to purchase my first 914 and am wondering if there are any basic routine maintenance threads available, for example:
  • Changing Oil and Filter (and what's the right oil type and interval)
  • Changing other fluids (trans, brake, etc) and what the preferred fluids are
  • Changing spark plugs and proper torque settings
  • Changing Headlamps and other lamps
  • Changing cabin filter (is there one??)
  • etc.

Normally I'd just go in and muck about...but breaking clips, lenses, and screws on a 36 year old car may make for expensive and lengthy replacements.

I've done some searching for this stuff and come up empty so I apologize in advance if I missed it. It could be because there's a book or two that all you guys have that I need to buy that covers all this stuff.

Thanks and looking forward to joining the madness! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
